iPhone 4G Prototype Affidavit Unsealed

iPhone 4G Prototype Affidavit Unsealed

A judge has apparently unsealed an affidavit related to Gizmodo’s iPhone leak last month, and the details that are coming out are entirely interesting. The documents — in essence — prove that Apple was behind the entire police investigation that ultimately led to the raid of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen’s home, which is something that many of us knew or at least susptected already.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself had apparently contacted Gizmodo personally to get the prototype back, whereas Gizmodo had other plans — demanding Apple admit the device was theirs.

The complain notes that upon receipt of the device, Apple determined it to be damaged:

“Sewell said that upon returning to Apple, employees attempted to power the phone and found that it no longer functioned. Upon examining the phone, they found the following damage occurred to it as a result of the phone being disassembling[sic]:
1. Broken ribbon cable
2. One screw was inserted into the wrong location and caused an electrical short
3. Back plate snaps were broken.
4. Stripped Screws.”
