BGR is reporting that the next-generation iPhone is in the engineering testing phase of development and has not yet been put into production. Specifically, the device is in the EVT3 or third revision f the engineering test stage, which is a step behind the design verification test stage.
The report also chimes in on hardware details, claiming that the new iPhone will have LTE built in, 1GB of RAM, and the inclusion of near field communication (NFC) technology to further bolster the Passbook wallet feature in iOS 6.
