In what obviously alludes to the upcoming 2012 iPhone refresh is the latest iOS 6 beta, which when tampered with by developers with access to it, displays a new resolution of 640×1136, which would correctly fit a longer 4-inch iPhone. In the development software (namely the iOS Simulator), anything higher than the 640 x 1136 resolution renders and iPad variant of the code, so this is treading on pretty solid fact.
And kudos to tech site 9to5mac for finding this one out and comparing the new iOS 6 icon layout to the current iOS 5.1 arrangements.
