iPhone 3.1 Spotted In Field Testing
kai_hiwatari writes "Digitizor reports that the next generation of the iPhone was spotted in the analytics log of an iPhone app called iBart. The device, it seems, was identified as iPhone 3.1 in the log. When iPhone 2.1 was spotted, it was followed by iPhone 3G."
Important update: Its version number is 1 higher than the old one!
I read the internet for the articles.
I can't wait for Mac OS XI: This one goes to eleven!
English is not this
The only thing that could make this, like, even more awesome is if it were being used by Britney Spears!!!!!!11!
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Apple's cycle is well known.
But could this mean that it should be amended?
For example, with a new, secondary, starting point such as: "An obscure software developer spots references to what could conceivably be a next version of Apple hardware in one of its logs".

How can you not care? It's so shiny :)

Someone enlighten me: how hard would it be for someone to fake this on either end, someone downloading it on something faking the "iphone 3.1" or someone at ibart playing a prank?
Well, you see, the iPhone has a lockout system that prevents people from doing anything with the device apart from buying programs on the app store... This lockout system is guaranteed unsinkable, so it is entirely impossible that anyone could cause their iPhone to report false information... ...Well, there was a "pretend to be iPhone 3.1" app released, but it was rejected from the app store...
Bow-ties are cool.
I sure as fuck don't.
OOOh! Technology, apathy and profanity -- all rolled into one little golden nugget!

For XI, they are using dogs, not cats, as code names. Performance is better, but sleep support doesn't work as well...

No sig for you!!
You mean /,
So when do we see an iPhone 3.11 for workgroups?
It's amusing. I quite often set my user agent to whatever the latest bit of vapourware is, or to a Commodore 16. Every once in a while, I get a bite and some blogmaster posts something like "MOG [sic] I've been surfed by a Microsoft Surface" or whatever. It gives me a little frisson of pleasure.
