A curious developer has discovered that most recent beta of the iPhone SDK includes icons for an iPhone model labeled “iPhone2,1.” The icons are normally displayed in the settings section of iTunes when an iPhone is connected, and that model ID is believed to refer to the next-gen hardware Apple plans to unveil this summer.

Last Year similar thing happened when a low resolution iPhone 3G icon was discovered while was released when 3G iPhone was not even on the shelves. If this is the new iPhone it doesn’t look much different as we all can see but the image is low resolution so we can not really differentiate between the 3G and this Upcoming iPhone. It looks like we will just have to wait & see how things turn out.
