Just a few short months after releasing the iPhone 5, Apple may already be testing its next smartphone. According to a report from The Next Web, app developers claim to have discovered references to iPhone 6,1 and iOS 7 in usage logs from IP addresses originating from Apple's Cupertino campus. The identifiers align with Apple's current naming conventions, which refer to the iPhone 5 as iPhone 5,1 and iPhone 5,2 in iOS development software. While no additional details could be discerned from the logs and the validity of the references cannot be confirmed, given Apple's lengthy development cycles, it seems reasonable to assume that testing of the new iPhone is well underway.
What's still unknown, however, is what new features the device and latest version of iOS will include and when we might see them. With many prior iterations making their debut at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June and the iPhone 5 not appearing until September of last year, it seems as though Apple's latest and greatest may still be months away.
