An app developer has found the identifier for an as-yet unreleased iPhone in its usage records, providing evidence that a new iPhone is under testing by Apple.
iPhone development company Pandav, which makes the iBart app, spotted the phone this month in stats provided to it by analytics firm Pinch Media. The usage logs for the first time showed a phone identified as "iPhone3,1", even though the last iPhone, the 3GS, identifies itself as "iPhone2,1".
The first mention of "iPhone3,1" showed up in iPhone firmware in August, but this new development suggests this next generation of the phone is now in testing.
