iPhone 2 Rumors Get Some Hard Evidence

Rumors of a new iPhone are getting a little warmer today as there looks to be two iPhone 2′s out in the wild. Notice the product key discovered in the new iPhone update denotes 2,1 model. According to MacRumors, “Apple uses these models numbers to distinguish between different hardware models. The original iPhone carries the model number of “iPhone 1,1″ while the 3G iPhone is labeled “iPhone 1,2″. These numbers do not change for simple storage increases and instead represent functionally different devices. Similarly, the iPod Touch was originally introduced as the “iPod 1,1″ and the most recent hardware revision was labeled “iPod2,1″. The 2,1 iPod Touch added a speaker, volume controls, microphone support and a much faster processor than the 1st generation model. This new model number can be found in the USBDeviceConfiguration.plist in an unencrypted firmware”.
The graph below the code represents an ad aserving graph from mobile advertising company PinchMedia. They wouldn’t show anyone the rest of their stats, but they were kind enough to show that they have served ads to 2 unique iPhones running “iPhone2,1″. Is this the nano or is this the next generation of the iPhone set to release @ the next keynote?
