Who follows the events around the company Apple for a few years, he knows that only shortly before the launch iPhone 4 is a certain jobancovi managed to lose a prototype of this device in a bar. After some time, this prototype got into the hands of a certain student Brian Hogan, who during these days decided to start the topic "Ask me anything" on his Reddit profile. As expected, some of the questions related to this very event that happened to the then 21-year-old Hogan in 2010.

One of the first questions Hogan received was how much he made for the event. Gizmodo magazine offered Hogan $5 at the time, and will offer an additional $000 if the device is confirmed to be genuine. However, Gizmodo had its way, and shortly after the article was published on the portal, Hogan was facing a trial with the editors. She refused to pay him another 3 dollars, but the lawyer paid him more than 000 dollars. However, the student also became a target of the police, who accused him of misusing stolen property. In other words, the police treated the transaction between Hogan and Gizmodo as the sale of stolen equipment. He was ordered to pay $3 in fines, perform 000 hours of community service and spend one year on probation.

On the other hand, the prototype itself worked with a fully functional version of the system iOS, it was probably a version iOS 4. The prototype device was only compatible with the new, unreleased version of iTunes. iPhone when connected to a computer it required a new version of itunes, but it didn't exist and couldn't be downloaded anywhere. The phone froze for some time after that, no idea why. It is expected that the prototype was deactivated on the remote itself Appquarry or occupationancom that this device lost. Apple this jobancand fired him, but later rehired him. Hogan does not own a single device since Applu. Uses a computer with Windows and uses a competitor for phone calls Samsung Galaxy S3.
