Mystery of lost iPhone 5 prototype widens
Apple may need to teach its employees that they can’t field-test their iPhone prototypes in bars. In a story similar to Apple’s loss of the iPhone 4 prototype in 2010, another Apple employee has lost a company prototype in a bar. This one was presumed to be for the upcoming iPhone 5. CNET reports that according to sources, days after the phone was lost at San Francisco Mexican restaurant named Cava 22, Apple representatives contacted San Francisco police, saying the company was desperate for its safe return. Apple electronically traced the phone to a single-family home in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood, and a man in his twenties who admitted being at the restaurant the night the phone was missing. The man denied knowing anything about the phone, and even allowed police to search his home, where they found nothing. Apple investigators offered the man money for the phone no questions asked, sources said, but he denied any knowledge of it. But the whole story appears to be questionable. SF Weekly reports that the San Francisco Police Department says no records exist of any investigation by SFPD inspectors. According to the SFPD, investigations should be documented as standard SFPD procedure. Police dispatchers also say they have no records of any search for the phone at the address where it supposedly took place. Readmore
