iPhone 4S ‘dual-mode’ smartphone code found in iTunes

  • by

We’re now just one day away from seeing what Apple has in store for us at its iPhone press briefing. The smart money’s on there being a brand new iPhone 5, but mounting evidence says that that won’t be all.

A snippet of code found in the latest version of iTunes seems to point to a device called the iPhone 4S – a handset also rumoured to be unveiled at the October 4th event. The code for the 4S points to it being a dual-mode handset, which means very little to us in the UK, but will make users in the States quite happy.

Dual-mode will allow the phone to be used on both GSM and CDMA networks, which means it’ll be able to operate on both Verizon and AT&T in the US. We’d be surprised if that was all that the iPhone 4S had up its sleeve; we would expect it to be slightly faster in terms of processing or browsing, a la the iPhone 3GS. The iPhone 4S is expected to look identical to the current iPhone 4.
