We have already found two new iPads ^[1] and the next-generation Apple TV ^[2] codenames tonight. Now we are are ready to something big. Here is, perhaps, the most important find of all: iPhone 5 ^[3],1. That's right, the next version of the iPhone is has been found in iOS 5.1 ^[4] internals ^[5].

This codename also tells us that iPhone 5 would be a major update. New 4,x model would represent minor changes. For example, the iPhone 3G ^[6] went from the original iPhone 1,1 to 1,2 because there were no internal speed and performance enhancements, just 3G and a GPS.

The jump from 4,1 to 5,1 represents major changes, both internal and external. This means the iPhone 5/6 will have a brand-new processor, probably A6. Rumored additions for externals are a 4 inch display and a new aluminum casing. Since Apple just released the iPhone 4S ^[7] in October 2011, we should not expect iPhone 5 anytime soon. New iPhone will come next October or maybe in the summer. With the 5,1 reference appearing this early, we like to think the latter.
