Rhythmbox wants to erroneously initialise my iPhone

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Plug iPhone 4S running iOS 6 into laptop running Ubuntu 12.04
Rhythmbox pops up a dilog titled "ipod Detected" and says:-

"Rhythmbox has detected a device that is probably an uninitialised or corrupted iPod. It must be initialised before Rhythmbox can use it, but this will destroy any song metadata already present. If you wish Rhythmbox to initialise the iPod, please fill in the information below. If the device is not an iPod or you do not wish to initialise it, please click cancel."

It's not an iPod, so I click "Cancel" as instructed. This pops up every time I plug it in. :(

I can confirm this behavior with an iPod touch running iOS6 on a fully updated install of quantal beta 2 (32bit).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.
