Evidence of new iPhones, new iPod Touch?
We got this information from one of our awesome Apple ninjas, (yes, that one) and here’s the deal… Basically when poking around in the iPhone OS 3.0 restore ramdisk, our guy found evidence of Apple’s upcoming hardware revisions. This includes new iPhones and iPod Touches. Yes, it looks like multiple hardware units. Now, this shouldn’t be taken as fact — we’re posting it for information sake. If we had to bet however, this seems right on. From our guy:
“Apple normally makes their device IDs in chronological order, from first released to last released. Here is what I found very interesting for you. Quick, here is an example of the past devices:
iPhone First Gen – 0×1290
iPod touch 1G – 0×1291
iPhone 3G – 0×1292
iPod touch 2G – 0×1293
Then, here is what is found in the ramdisk:
iPhone2,1 – 0×1294
iProd0,1 – 0×1295
iPod2,2 – 0×1296
iPhone3,1 – 0×1297
iFPGA – 0×1298
iPod3,1 – 0×1299″
As you can see, there are multiple new hardware IDs listed which makes us believe there will be more than one new iPhone model, and there also looks like there is more than one iPod Touch as well. Hit the jump for the information we were sent:

This is completely wishful thinking but maybe the new models will finally be for alternate carriers?? It’s not like AT&T is really doing Apple any favors. Break the contract and welcome the rest of the US GSM population into the mix. Keep the dream of a T-Mobile iPhone alive!
Verizon Iphone anyone????

?
Don’t be silly guy. an FPGA is a special firmware system that is highly updatable. It’s not a product.
Maybe the iFPGA is for all those new third party devices like the blood pressure reader.
Or perhaps it will cure testicular cancer?
iFPGA may be the hardware emulation platform and the build corresponding to it
Only in Germany!
4G will be out in March of 2010, and AT&T will no longer be exclusive in June/July of 2010 too. I’ll wait until then. I hear the phone, hence the screen will be a little bigger, and faster than DSL.
Roger, I love the way you give a very sensible answer and most responders ignore it in favor of some total bullshit wetdream they are having.
why would the phone need to be field programmable? Could this mean some sort of DEV phone, or maybe even an Android phone?
Well, I think i sorta figured out whats going on…
Apple is gonna
Release a brand new iPhone in addition to current one… LIke
iPhone2,2
Same will happen with new iPod touch apple will release a new ipod touch ipod2,2
And those Ipod3,1 and iphone3,1 are something totally new ipod and iphone that runs iphone OS …
Like new ipod touch and iphone can have a bigger display 5.0 maybe …. Like somethign unique from those ipods…
So Some people will prefer small and some prefer big,,,,
And iProd0,1 or iPFGA… Iprod for sure is a tablet….! iPFGA doesn’t sound like a product its something probably a new application or some major software thing…..!
XD FIRST ONE TO FIGURE OUT
So they are only releasing new applications but not new ipods or iphones?
iProD = Pro digital camera (photo and hd video)
I guess Steve Jobs doesn’t own a mirror. I’ve been reading this thing for months (I find it informative and often amusing) and have successfully resisted chiming in on the jack-ass-ery… until now! Thanks a lot, Steve.
check out the IProd http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technology/2008/04/say-hello-to-iprod.html and iFPGA probably stands for Flat Panel GAming device
FPGA = Field Programmable Gate Array — an extremely flexible but slower and more expensive type of processor, ideal if you are, say, developing your own ARM ASIC (processor) in house and you want to be able to write code for it even before the chip is available.
I’ve worked it out. The iprod is a cheaper version of the iphone for all our protestant cousins here in belfast, n. ireland!!! As we catholics have all the money !!!!
what are you talking about? you must be crazy
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i just bought a bloody iphone.
my luck when i bought my LCD tv a newer model came out 1080P instead of 720P for 100 bucks less.
now this?
give me a break
tmobile sells the iphone, in Germany.

I hope there will be a new iPod soon.
should i wait to buy a new? Touch??
Lolo…
I love your smartass. =)
Maby iProd =iProduction? Something new in production? Don’t mind me, maby I have too much imagination.
