Ars Technica is reporting that the iPhone OS 3.0 software update contains references to four currently unavailable products. The references which can be found in a property list file within the software point to products known as iPhone3,1, iPod3,1, iFPGA, and iProd0,1.
The file /System/Library/AppleUSBDevice/USBDeviceConfiguration.plist is present to list details about USB configurations and contains device IDs individual to certain products. For example in the same file on the current iPhone OS 2.2.1 the file lists iPhone1,1; iPhone1,2; iPod1,1; and iPod2,1 for the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, first-gen iPod touch and second-gen iPod touch respectively.
The discovery throws several questions in the air; why has Apple apparently skipped iPhone 2,1 in favour of iPhone 3,1 and what exactly is iFPGA, and iProd0,1?
Finally on a similar note Boy Genius Report is noting that several references to iPod 2,2 exist within iPhone OS 3.0.
The subjective file can be seen below.
