Wait, two new iPhones make an appearance in the Apple TV firmware?

So, changes have obviously been made to the iPhone 4, but questions remain about just how far Apple has taken the alterations. If they’re keeping with the typical naming convention of their phones, the iPhone 3,2 and iPhone 3,3, as shown in the screen shot, should keep the same look and form factor.

A clever little firmware hacker was poking around the USBDeviceConfiguration.plist file and found that the new Apple TV firmware mentions two new iPhone models.

The changes could be anything frankly, so this isn’t an overly exciting bit of news. Apple could have changed a chip here and a chip there, or fixed the not so broken antenna, but it could also be that one of the two devices is a CDMA phone, rumoured to be released in the first quarter of 2011. We wouldn’t bet the farm on it, but it could be possible.
