Juicy slip that the Californian Apple has committed. Through Engadget colleagues we have discovered a capture of part of the information contained in the beta of iOS 5.1 for developers, and there are surprises among the terminals that are reflected in it. Big surprises.
In itself, the existence of the developer test version of the next iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch system update is interesting in itself. But the wake-up call is even more powerful when it is verified that, among the compatible devices, there are two that have long been giving something to talk about: the iPhone 5 and iPad 3.
And it is that among the terminals that will be able to install the next version of the platform we have seen that there is an iPhone 3 (it is understood, that the iPhone 3GS, which is the one that presents compatibility with iOS 5), two iPhone 4 (perhaps understood as the iPhone 4 itself, as well as the iPhone 4S), an iPhone 5 (which we hope will end up being the terminal that has been rumored so much and that would have a four-inch screen and a new design), an iPad 2 and, eye, two iPad 3.
Given this, several questions should be put on the table. The first, that the first generation iPad is not part of this list. It seems unlikely that Apple will obsolesce a device that is not yet two years old, blocking the update system. The second, that an iPad 3 is not reflected, but two, in this possible relationship of terminals.
A second question could be answered, not without a high degree of uncertainty, if we stick to the rumor mill that is considering for months about the next generation tablet from Apple. And it is not only talk about the possibility that the next device has an improved screen, as well as benefits above the two current generations.
In addition, the launch could be accompanied by another terminal; something like an iPad Mini, which would become an edition that would seek to attack the competition below the waterline, making things difficult for those manufacturers who bet on an alternative to the iPad based on seven-inch tablets.
