Your iPhone 3G contains a hidden code


An iPhone user in Australia was playing around with his camcorder's NightShot mode (which can see through some materials), when he found that behind the rear plastic clamshell is a DataMatrix 2D barcode.

Engadget suspects the barcode is the handset's IMEI and serial numbers.

If you have the ability to see and scan your handset's barcode, let us know what information it contains with a comment below!
