Retina Display iPads running iOS 6 have been spotted in web server logs for ArsTechnica, reports the site.
The site found 346 visits from a device with a screen resolution of 2048x1536. All though this doesn't mean the visitor was using an iPad, there are very few devices other than the rumored iPad that operate at this resolution.
Taking things one step further, the site began looking to see which of these visitors was 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.
iOS 6 is not expected on March 7th but if it is previewed that could pave the way for a summer release of the next generation iPhone.
Yesterday, a Gizmodo reader reported a device called the 'iPad HD' was found in his server logs.
