Last night I was telling you that the San Francisco city police did not officially recognize it that he would have helped the Apple company to search the house of a man named Sergio Calderon, the house where Apple located a prototype of an iPhone terminal lost in a bar in the city. During the night, the police changed their statements, admitting that three or four members of a San Francisco police department helped two Apple private detectives search Sergio Calderon's home, car and computer. The police state that its agents did not enter the man's house to assist in the search, but they supervised the entire operation on behalf of the Apple company.
Contradicting past statements that no records exist of police involvement in the search for the lost prototype, San Francisco Police Department spokesman Lt. Troy Dangerfield now tells SF Weekly that "three or four" SFPD officers accompanied two Apple security officials in an unusual search of a Bernal Heights man's home. 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.
Now we know for sure that Apple lost a terminal in a bar, so cNET didn't lie, the story wasn't invented, but which terminal did Apple lose? An iPhone 5 according to the police from San Francisco, who gave the name iPhone 5 to the file containing the press release sent to American journalists. iPhone5.doc is the name of the document received by the journalists, and the police knew for sure why they were going to Sergio Calderon's house, so now we have an indirect confirmation of the fact that the iPhone 5 exists. Considering the haste with which Apple acted, I tend to believe that the terminal could be launched this year, otherwise the company would not have risked such a "scandal" for a prototype that is far from being distributed on the market.
In conclusion, Apple lost an iPhone 5 in a bar, the police could not find it but indirectly confirmed that they are looking for it and we are still waiting for its release.
