developers have found in their app usage logs references to a new iPhone
identifier, iPhone 6.1, running iOS 7 operating system, the website
reported. (http://r.reuters.com/fyd94t)
Apple's iPhone 5 bears the identifiers "iPhone 5.1" and "iPhone 5.2" and is powered by iOS 6 operating system.
Developer logs show
that the app requests originate from an internet address on Apple's
Cupertino campus, suggesting that Apple engineers are testing compatibility for some of the popular apps, the website said.
"Although OS and
device data can be faked, the unique IP footprint leading back to
Apple's Cupertino campus leads us to believe this is not one of those
attempts," the website said.
Apple launched
iPhone 5 in September and it has been reported that the new iPhone will
be released in the middle of 2013.
