Apple posted two positions for product security management, due to the so-called loss of a prototype iPhone 5.
The candidate would be in charge of protecting of and managing risks to Apple’s unreleased products and related intellectual property, according to the listing. Furthermore, the position would reside in Apple’s Cupertino, Calif. headquarters and would require up to 30 percent travel (international and domestic) and implies collaborations with other security managers.
Although it is just a rumor, it seems that an employee of computer maker Apple had lost a prototype iPhone in a bar earlier this summer. According to the police report, Apple employees had tracked the lost item to a house, but did not find the lost item and did not want to make an official report.
This is not the first time when an iPhone Prototype is lost. Another Apple employee was involved in a similar incident last year, when an iPhone 4 prototype was sold to Gawker Media, parent company of tech blog Gizmodo, which dissected it in a lengthy and much-circulated posting. California prosecutors did not filed charges against Gizmodo, but they were not so gently on the two men who sold the prototype. The early leak had a negligible effect on sales of the iPhone 4, which remains a linchpin of Apple’s smartphone line.
Maybe Apple was so desperate to get their hands on the lost prototype because it could contain information of a revolutionary iPhone model. And, while the Android threat is getting bigger and bigger, it would be a real present for the Android army. We just have to hope that iPhone 5 will indeed be something unique not another “S” version…
