The internet is afire today with reports that the iPhone firmware v2.x contains the unique device ID of a new iPhone model. On plain view (if you know where to look) inside the USBDeviceConfiguration.plist, is listed the iPhone v2,1.
According to MacRumors, this represents the name of the actual hardware: the original iPhone was designated 1,1 while the iPhone 3G has the monicker 1,2. Apparently, the new model is being tested inside Apple and has made an appearance in the server logs PinchMedia, an ad serving company.
To which we have to say "duh?" A bigger surprise would be if Apple wasn’t testing next-gen hardware. Do people really think that new products spring fully formed from the loins of Jonathan Ive, Apple’s designer, the day before their launch?
