New 'iProd1,1' Reference Found in iPhone OS 3.1 Beta Configuration File

Aug 5th 2009 by

Ars Technica is reporting that the most recent developer seed of iPhone OS 3.1 beta contains an updated configuration file that features references to two different unknown products. The references are simply know as “iProd0,1” and “iProd1,1”. The “iProd0,1” was originally spotted all the way back in March, the “iProd 1,1” seems to be a new addition.

Ars Technica:

The iProd1,1 device has been assigned a new productID of 4762 (versus 4757 of iProd0,1) and assigned a different ConfigurationDescriptor of “standardMuxPTPEthernet.” iPhone models also have this designation, and the additional interface identified in the plist for this configuration is “AppleUSBEthernet.” The consensus here seems to be that the new device may have gained high-speed networking capabilities — though the iPhone uses the interface to tether to a laptop to share its 3G connection.

The iProd0,1 number could very well have stood for a prototype device, and iProd 1,1 could be a final version ready for release. With that said, no one knows for sure what this reference may be for. The best guess is the rumored Apple Tablet  expected for release somtime in the next six months. Other possibilites include a new iPod nano, or the rumored iPhone Nano. All of this is purely speculation on Are Technica’s part.
