iPad 3 On iOS 6 Spotted In ArsTechnica Server Logs

The guys at ArsTechnica has began looking in to these visitors and started to see which of them was indeed from Apple.

We began looking at iPad user agents coming from Apple’s corporate IP block in Cupertino and discovered that Apple appears to be surfing the Web using iPads running what looks like iOS 6.0. The whole listing shows iPads running iOS 5, iOS 5.0.1 (the current public release), iOS 5.1 (the upcoming release currently available to developers), and iOS 6. The iPads that appear to be running iOS 6 are also using a slightly newer build of WebKit-the older OSes all show WebKit 534.46, while the ones claiming to be iOS 6 show WebKit build 535.8.

We are expecting the iOS 5.1 to be released at March 7th along side the awaited iPad 3. iOS 6 seems to be meant for the summer release along side the iPhone 5.
Also, Gizmodo has reported that they have spotted an “iPad HD” in their server logs.
