Apple Readying New Serial Numbers? [Update]

by

Appleinsider notes that Apple is readying a new Serial Number scheme for their products:

Under the new format, all "finished goods" such as Macs, iPods and accessories, will be stamped with a serial number consisting of 18 numeric digits. Presently, Apple uses an 11-character alphanumeric scheme.

Update: This was first reported by ThinkSecret in March.
