There has been plenty of speculation that the next iteration of the iPhone would be dual-mode supporting both GSM and CDMA networks. Now more evidence lends credence that the upcoming iPhone 5 will indeed by a world phone. TechCrunch was approached by a high level application developer, who has created several popular apps. The developer shared app usage logs. Inside the logs were a few people that recently registered the app from a brand new Apple device that was “decidedly dual-mode”.
The logs show that the app has been briefly tested by a handful of people using what is almost certainly an iPhone 5, evidently running iOS 5, sporting two distinct sets of mobile network codes (MNC) / mobile country codes (MCC). Those codes can be used to uniquely identify mobile carriers.
Of course, this news means no LTE iPhone this year, which doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
