I'm confused, the 'lost-in-a-bar' iPhone was at least a year ago, right? What's that got to do with the iPhone 5? Or did the same idiot lose another iPhone? eek2.gif wallbash.gif

Apparently, some idiot DID lose another iPhone.

Apple employees and bars apparently aren't a good mix.  rolleyes.gif

Gee, you'd think Apple's advertising company could come up with a new way to get the media's attention.  rolleyes.gif

Ditto what Krissel said.

It sure sounds fishy to me.

Well, I didn't read the article too closely, but it could have been a sushi bar... Thinking.gif dntknw.gif At least it keeps Apple's hiring process (flawed as it seems to be) moving along... rolleyes.gif

And the plot thickens...

And then the explanation:

Still no sign of the phone itself...

The possibility that the same type of thing could happen to Apple again is incredible. I run a test lab here at GCN and we’ve never had a product lost or stolen. Devices we test stay locked inside the secure perimeter unless they need to go out for field testing. Even then, devices can only leave the lab after a reviewer fills out an analysis form complete with testing methodology, locations and time frames. And no, I don’t generally approve requests where the testing methodology is, “In addition to slipping singles to the strippers, I plan to dazzle them by showing off this new gadget.”

I don’t see any reason why an iPhone 5 should ever leave the Apple labs, much less go off their campus. If they needed to do field testing, I can think of more controlled environments than the Cava22 bar. Physical security should be one of the easiest things to fortify. It’s not like hackers are performing Mission Impossible-type stunts and trying to slip past a laser grid to get a glance at a new phone model.
