The bad news is that Apple has lost another iPhone. The good news is that they have the San Francisco police helping them look for it. The SF Weekly fills us in on the “bizarre saga” of the missing iPhone 6 prototype here. SF Spokescop Troy Dangerfield, who definitely has the name for the job, gave the story to the Weekly’s Peter Jamison, who summarizes as follows:
Dangerfield says that, after conferring with Apple and the captain of the Ingleside police station, he has learned that plainclothes SFPD officers went with private Apple detectives to the home of Sergio Calderón, a 22-year-old resident of Bernal Heights. According to Dangerfield, the officers “did not go inside the house,” but stood outside while the Apple employees scoured Calderón’s home, car, and computer files for any trace of the lost iPhone 5. The phone was not found, and Calderón denies that he ever possessed it.
So I continue to think that all the talk about a sainthood for Steve Jobs is way premature.
Via Felix Salmon.
