MacRumors is reporting on finds by the iPhone developer Pandav. They have found usage records for an as of yet unreleased iPhone model, in their applications’ analytics. The app in question is iBart, which is a transportation guide for the San Francisco train system.
MacRumors goes on to say that PinchMedia provides analytics for applications based on customer usage including specific device numbers. This is where it gets fun:
PinchMedia who provides the analytics for the application breaks down customer usage including what specific devices are being used. This list of devices is reported to developers using internal device identification numbers assigned by Apple. In this case, “iPhone3,1” was first spotted in Pandav’s usage logs in November. This “iPhone3,1” identifier does not match up with any shipping iPhones. The last iPhone released to the public was the iPhone 3GS which carries the identification string “iPhone2,1”.
“iPhone 3,1” was first found in iPhone firmware files in August, but this is the first time it has been seen actually in use. MacRumors also notes that Apple began testing the iPhone 3GS, which showed up as “iPhone 2,1” back in October of 2008.
So, the most we can take away from this discovery is that Apple is working on another iPhone revision. Hardly a shock.
