Given the fact that this has happened repeatedly with the launches of past Apple products, I find it difficult to believe that Apple would have made this "mistake" again unless:
a) They want news about the iPad 3 to leak out
or:
b) It's faked, something which, as several posters here have demonstrated, is trivial to accomplish.
I think b) is the most likely answer.
- youlost_thegame 15y agoIf I remember well, last year we stumbled upon a similar case. We'll know after the announcement. As far as I know there have not been any iOS 6.0 rumors, so this is a high bet. If 6.0 is unvelied next week, then Apple is doing that on purpose, as they know Ars checks their logs for that kind of content. However, if they stick to 5.1, then we'll know it's some kind of prank, and Ars will probably think twice before publishing the same article next year

If they didn't want to leak, they would've configured the prototype units to report themselves as normal iPad 2s.
