MacRumors found reference to a new iPhone in the iPhone firmware.
The iPhone designated, "iPhone2,1" appears in a string within the iPhone firmware. Currently, the iPhone 3G is designated "iPhone 1,2." The original iPhone carries the "iPhone1,1" moniker. This jump in version numbers has lead some to believe that the next iPhone revision will be substantial.
MacRumors also points out that at least one developer has noticed ads being served to the mysterious iPhone2,1.
Apple is rumored to have a team working on the their own ARM processor for the next iteration of the iPhone and that it could support Multi-Core CPUs, Multi-Core GPUs and will summon unicorns.
