Iphone再遭泄露門 蘋果成立“反山寨”安全隊

An Apple employee is in trouble with his bosses after the prototype of its top-secret iPhone 5 was left in a bar... just as happened with the iPhone 4. The as yet unreleased gadget was supposedly 'misplaced' at Cava22, a tequila bar in San Francisco. Apple's security team was called in after reports that the gizmo had been sold over the internet for ?120 and a 22-year-old man was questioned. However, technology website reports that the San Francisco Police Department said Apple had not reported the item as lost. Cava22 owner Jose Valle has said that neither the SFPD or Apple have contacted him, although he does remember getting calls about a lost iPhone last month. It follows a very similar incident in April 2010 when a then-unreleased iPhone 4 was left in a the beer garden of a German bar in California by an Apple engineer.

　 蘋果前CEO喬布斯的離去，讓“猶抱琵琶半遮面”的iphone5的期待值提上了新的高度，去年iphone4的問世前就出現了蘋果員工酒吧弄丟未經問世iphone4的新聞，這一回iphone5的問世又一次“遭遇了原型機遺失酒吧”的泄露門。據悉，前日美國舊金山警方日前報案遺失一部手機，報道稱，手機遺失在舊金山一家名為Cava22的酒吧中，該機在網上售價120英鎊，警方接獲報案後，蘋果依據電子追蹤查出手機位置，並會同警方至一22歲男子家中調查。但並未在該男子家中搜出手機，該男子也堅稱不知情。然而報道發出後，蘋果官方否認了iphone5原型機遺失，而酒吧Cava22老闆也否認了蘋果曾因原型機遺失而聯繫過他，這一則“似曾相識”的新聞讓蘋果的粉絲回憶起去年4月，iphone4發佈前在加利福尼亞一德國酒吧被蘋果工程師“被遺失”的新聞。

While there is not yet any official confirmation from Apple that the release of a new iPhone is imminent, there are widespread reports that an October launch is slated for the iPhone 5, around two months after this incident took place. That release date would be supported by images that appeared on the internet this week.

雖然，這一次的“泄露門”事件蘋果官方並對此發佈任何評論，而該事件是否會影響iphone5的10月發佈我們目前還不得而知。萬眾期待的iphone5的山寨版已經是滿天飛了，值得注意的是，為抗擊市場上氾濫的山寨蘋果產品，蘋果近日特別成立了一支有着FBI背景的“反山寨”全球安全隊。
