I hope that kid doesnt lose his job over this. You gotta be fucking stupid to lose a prototype while drunk though.. That would not leave my pocket at all while outside. lol

You don't, you get them for $199. 3G phones are the $99 ones.

Paid out $130 to cut his contract early, then another $99 to get the Iphone 3GS, and sign a new 3 year term. Bought a case and screen protector, totaling $40. All that money spent...and here Apple has a new one that should be out by the end of the year

I dont get it, its a given that Apple releases a new iPhone version every year. That's why you don't buy an iphone in the middle of the year

Sweet, I'm due for an upgrade in like 2 months. Win.

**Neosutra** · 2010-04-20 12:29

Ya, on second glance, looks to be legit..

A lot of people are digging the design, but i liked the old iphone design a lot and hope they keep it similar.

They said "much better display", but didnt say much else. Wonder if they got in the OLED or not, and how many pixels now..

Front facing camera will be nice, but probably only good for wifi areas, but still very useful. Hoping the back camera is 5gigs..

Cannot wait.

It is real, Apple contacted the site to get it returned.

Just hoping price is the same as the 3GS (during its release). Im stoked about the battery, if it rly hold's true. Shitty thing about the 3GS is how you need to be careful how much u use it during the day, if your not gonna be home until night (and thats w/ 3G, wifi, ect.. turned off)

Supposedly the casing is not how it's going to look, as it was to try to fool people to what it really was in case it was lost. Needless to say, the guy who lost it is probably in Steve Job's personal office begging for mercy right about now.

Gizmodo Vs. Apple + Government

Armed with a warrant, California's Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team entered Gizmodo editor Jason Chen's home last week and seized four computers and two servers in its felony investigation of an obtained prototype iPhone.

Gizmodo revealed the information, along with a copy of the warrant issued by a judge of the superior court in San Mateo County, Calif. In response, the website's post argued that it believes the warrant was invalid under section 1524(g) of the California Penal Code.

The warrant states that there was probable cause that Chen's computers were "used as the means of committing a felony." The REACT authorities entered Chen's home without him present, according to Gizmodo.

A full inventory of the seized material includes a MacBook, MacBook Pro, 32GB iPad, 16GB iPhone, an AirPort Extreme, IBM ThinkPad, a Dell desktop, external hard drives, and many more. The items were removed from numerous rooms in his home.

An account of the events by Chen was also filed. The Gizmodo editor said he and his wife came back home from dinner around 9:45 p.m. when they noticed their garage door was half-open. When he tried to open the door, officers searched him and informed him that his property was under their control.

Chen's front door was reportedly broken open so the authorities could enter, and those on the scene informed him that he could be reimbursed for the damage. Chen was provided with a copy of the warrant, and declined to comment to the authorities. He was not arrested.

Last week it was revealed that police are investigating the Gizmodo purchase of a prototype iPhone from Apple. The publication's parent company, Gawker Media, has openly admitted it paid $5,000 to obtain the device from a man who claimed he found it at a California bar.

The prototype handset was allegedly left at the Redwood City, Calif., establishment by an Apple engineer. The employee frantically searched for the device, calling the bar multiple times to see if it had been returned, but the owner of the bar said no one ever contacted him to say they had found an iPhone. Gizmodo claimed that the person who found the phone attempted to call Apple and did not receive a response.

Gizmodo returned the iPhone to Apple after the Cupertino, Calif., company requested it be given back, but not before the publication wrote numerous stories about the device and revealed the name of the engineer who allegedly lost the device. The website also disassembled the hardware to confirm it was manufactured by Apple.

I think /popcorn is the proper response here.

Most important thing to come out of this....

notice Apple did legally refer to it as the Apple 4G? Guess that answers the question on name.

**GRT** · 2010-04-26 18:57

not sure with the exact legal proceedings, but that seems like just how the detective refers to it, or does he need to put in writing a name he has to get from Apple?

DAKPluto · 2010-04-26 19:23

It's a legal document that's gonna be analyzed in courts for a while. Oh believe me, the wording was important.

**GRT** · 2010-04-26 19:58

i mean i know it's an important document, but most legal documents i see are extremely stringent in referring to the name of an item in dispute (ie, never using pronouns, always the full official name)

whereas the iphone name in the warrant is comparatively rather ambiguous (and--to my knowledge--sometimes purposefully so to the benefit of what the warrant can cover), referring it to Apple prototype 4G iphone, 4G Apple iphone, or just prototype iphone.
