Apple Employee Loses Unreleased iPhone Prototype
C.NET reported yesterday that an Apple employee has lost another iPhone prototype in late July in a bar called Cava 22, a Mexican restaurant and bar in San Francisco.
You may remember that iPhone 4 prototype was also infamously lost in a bar last year, which ended up with Gizmodo, who published detailed pictures of Apple’s upcoming iPhone, couple of months before it was released.CNET reports:
A day or two after the phone was lost at San Francisco’s Cava 22, which describes itself as a “tequila lounge” that also serves lime-marinated shrimp ceviche, Apple representatives contacted San Francisco police, saying the device was priceless and the company was desperate to secure its safe return, the source said. Still unclear are details about the device, what version of the iOS operating system it was running, and what it looks like.
According to CNET, Apple tracked down the iPhone probably using Find My iPhone, but when San Francisco police and Apple investigators searched the house, they did not find the lost iPhoneprototype. It is not clear if Apple has managed to get the hands on the iPhoneprototype.Since the iPhone prototype was lost in late July, it is quite possible that the iPhone prototype could have been iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S. Apple is expected to launch the next generation iPhone along with a cheaper 8GB iPhone 4S model in the first or second week of October.
