We are only days away from Apple’s iPhone press event but it appears that the latest iTunes beta has confirmed at least one new upcoming iPhone and topic of ongoing rumours. Buried in the code of iTunes 10.5 beta 9’s .plist files are two mentions and embedded images of an “iPhone 4S.”
The attached image looks to be that of the CDMA iPhone 4, leading 9to5Mac.com to surmise that the iPhone 4S will adopt the CDMA iPhone design. Unlike the current iPhone 4, the new iPhone 4S could come as a dual-mode (CDMA and GSM) handset as only two models are listed compared to the four for the current model which is single-mode.
Fortunately, we only have to wait a few more days to see what Apple really has up its sleeve this time around…
