Apple may have lost a second iPhone '4G' prototype.
MSNBC reports that a prototype device has been found in Vietnam.
Photos and video of the device show a similar design to that of
the phone left in a California bar by Apple employee Gray Powell
recently. That phone has now been returned to Apple by Gizmodo.com editor Jason
Chen.
Chen's home office was raided by police in relation to the site's
coverage of the phone.
The new device has some slight differences to the earlier phone - no
screws on the bottom and a 16GB badge on the back - but has the same
squarer design, front-mounted camera, round volume buttons, side-mounted
SIM drawer and metal side trim.
How the device - if it is, in
fact real - came to be in Asia is unknown, but Apple does manufacture
iPhones in China, and an announcement of the new phone is expected at
the company's Worldwide Developer Forum next month.
Vietnamese site Taoviet.vn is carrying screenshots of the phone, which
it says was bought from a businessman, together with an iPad, in the
United States.
