iPhone 4G revealed - Heli0s - 04-19-2010

Yes, this is legitimate.

"As promised, Gizmodo has identified the unfortunate soul who left his prototype iPhone 4G in a northern Silicon Valley pub.

That'd be Gray Powell, a 27-year-old Apple software engineer working on the call-enabling iPhone Baseband Software.

But before we tell his story as reported by Gizmodo, we feel compelled to first say that if the tale is true, Powell has our complete sympathy. Anybody can make a mistake - and, trust us, a few fine German beers have been accomplices to this very Reg reporter's occasional misstep.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stein, shall we say."

Well, damn near 100% legit. Gizmodo has taken apart this prototype and claims that nobody could have assembled it other than Apple itself. Plus, they've got some hardcore evidence.

I read about this. I'm amazed that an Apple employee would mess up like that. Too bad it's only a prototype.


RE: iPhone 4G revealed - Heli0s - 04-19-2010

It powered on and ran iPhone OS 4.0. Gary Powell's Facebook app was signed in and everything. There's no reason not to believe that this is extremely close to the final product.

I wonder if Apple is going to try to take legal action against this blogger.

Sure did, Extasey. I guess there's a remote tool they added into MobileMe that allows them to wipe iPhones on command.

The hardware will most likely stay the same, but the case will most likely definately change now.
