Some Post-WWDC Next-Generation iPhone Notes Rumors, And Predictions

Dave Caolo at The Unofficial Apple Weblog has uncovered an explanation for the ambiguity over what the next iPhone will be called, noting that USB device files in yet-unreleased iOS 5 firmware’s iOS system files that reference “iPad3,1″ and “iPad3,2,” “iPhone4,1,” and “iPhone4,2,” therefore deducing that the iPhone 5 will be a 4th generation unit because the iPhone 3G was technically 1st generation...
