With WWDC 2013 drawing closer, Apple has begun heavier testing internally, according to Onswipe, a company that turns whole sites into HTML5 web apps.

As reported by Tech Crunch, Onswipe has recorded a big spike in traffic to its partner’s sites coming from devices running iOS 7 in the last week.

Onswipe reportedly noticed “a significant bump in the number of visits from iOS 7 iPhones and iPads, specifically located in both Cupertino and San Francisco.”

The most visits were recorded in San Francisco (18.75 percent), and the city of Cupertino (Apple’s home) made just 17.9 percent of the total hits.

On May 2, the highest iOS 7 traffic was recorded: 23 percent, or almost a quarter of all the unique iOS visits targeting Onswipe-partnering sites.

75 percent of all visits came from iPhones, and the remaining quarter were iPads, also running iOS 7.

At WWDC 2013, Apple is expected to hold a briefing on the new stuff added in iOS 7. The company will most likely release a developer build for registrants to test out on their devices in the wild.
