Apple employee loses prototype iPhone 4G in a bar. Apple asks for it back!

Paul Nesbitt

An Apple engineer forgetfully left a working iPhone 4G in a California bar, which found its way to gadget blog Gizmodo, who published details about the smartphone, which Apple is expected to release in June. When Apple sent a letter requesting its return, Gizmodo's findings gained considerable credibility.

Amongst the new features on what we assume will be the iPhone 4G are:

Front-facing video camera
Higher resolution back camera with a flash
iPad-style Micro-SIM slot
Higher resolution (maybe 960 by 640) display which is much brighter than the iPhone 3GS
What may be a secondary microphone to be used for noise cancellation
Up and down buttons for volume

The new iPhone 4G is also 3g heavier than the 3GS, and the screen is marginally smaller than the current screen

The internal components are smaller so make room for a larger battery

That Letter from Apple to Gizmodo

Dear Mr. Lam, It has come to our attention that Gizmodo is currently in possession of a device that belongs to Apple. This letter constitutes a formal request that you return the device to Apple. Please let me know where to pick up the unit.
