Engadget is reporting that an internal model number (N89) for an as of yet unreleased iPhone has been found in the new iPhone SDK 3.2 that was released at during the iPad launch.
Buried way inside the platform simulator lies a set of folders dedicated to specific models of iPhone OS-ready devices, including the iPhone 3GS, second generation iPod touch, something called the “K48” (yep, the codename we were told was the internal name for the iPad), and… the “N89.” Sure, it sounds like a Nokia phone just waiting to happen, but this is — according to our extremely knowledgeable and trusted sources — likely the codename of the next iPhone (previous versions were called the M68, N82, and N88).
Another number (N80) was found in Apple’s recently released iPhone OS 3.1.3 and supposedly belongs to an as of unreleased iPod touch model.
Interestingly, Apple’s just released firmware (3.1.3) also includes another new model, the “N80,” which we’re told will most likely be the next version of the iPod touch.
For what it’s worth, it appears the iPad has an internal model number of “K48”. Historically, Apple offers incremental revisions to their consumer electronics lines of products every year. In short, we already have a gut feeling these updates are on the way, the numbers just prove that Apple is in fact working on them.
