There were talks about an unreleased iPhone previous to the recent firmware 2.2.1 update. One instance was an article from macrumours.com that talks about how Pinch Media’s Ad reports caught the iPhone 2,1 version number when reporting all the different models that were accessing their Ad system.
Pinch Media provides a list of information they have gather recently. Here’s some important quote’s from the article.
At Pinch Media, we’ve seen this for some time now, and haven’t thought too much of it — even without this data, we’d just automatically assume Apple’s always working on new versions of their core products. But now that MacRumors and VentureBeat have picked up the story, here’s a little more information:
- the first time an application using Pinch Analytics was run by a ‘iPhone 2,1′ device occurred back in early October 2008;
- applications using Pinch Analytics were run by ‘iPhone 2,1′ devices very sporadically until mid-December 2008, when the pace picked up slightly;
- to date, a few dozen distinct ‘iPhone 2,1′ devices have run almost two dozen different applications using Pinch Analytics;
- when ‘iPhone 2,1′ devices run applications using Pinch Analytics’ optional geolocation tracking, they’re almost exclusively located in the south San Francisco Bay Area;
- while most of the sessions have been made from wifi connections, there’s been a few connections over AT&T’s network, so presumably this device handles both;
- the applications that have been run by Pinch Analytics don’t share much in common, except for their size — they’re among the larger applications to use our stuff, with hundreds of thousands to millions of unique users.
So maybe we shall see more information about the new iPhone that may or may not be real or even released.
