Did an “Apple Genius” leave the prototype for the company’s upcoming iPhone model in a California bar?!
Gizmodo.com claims an anonymous barfly at Gourmet Haus Staudt, a German beer garden near San Francisco, found the iPhone 4G on a barstool on the night of Thursday, March 19. After no one claimed the item, the lucky finder took it home — and soon discovered that this iPhone looked a lot different that the ones currently on the market. The person then promptly sold the device to Gizmodo for $5,000.
Apple has remained publicly mum on the security breach, but on Monday, Gizmodo’s editorial director published an official letter he received from Apple requesting that the device be returned immediately.
