Reports indicate that an alleged iPhone 5 prototype has been discovered in a bar in San Francisco. The device was reportedly sold on Craigslist for $200, but its current whereabouts are unknown. This incident recalls a similar situation last year when an iPhone 4 prototype was accidentally left at a café and later recovered by Gizmodo. Some speculate that Apple might be staging this event to generate buzz for the upcoming product release. The company is actively tracking the lost device electronically while the buyer, a young man, denies any knowledge of it.
