Have you seen this iPhone? Another prototype goes missing...at a bar. We get a hands-on with iTunes Match due this fall. Plus, physical keyboards come back to the iPhone.

that key board looks epic

yes, but the release didn't delay BECAUSE of the lost prototype, and silver96forever said that the release date would be delayed because of the lost phone.

I miss sf :C

Why are all American presenters so super annoying and unfunny?

if I delete my songs from my computer (after uploading to iTunes match), will it be deleted from the cloud? I was thinking of cleaning up my library a bit to free HDD, but still keep the music in the cloud so that I can download later if i need/want to.

@bobthepurpleostrich I was referring to the iPhone 5 prototype. When it was lost WWDC had already passed.

@ItachiUchiha2010

actually, the iphone 4 prototype was lost on april 18th, 2010 and recovered just 4 days later, having no impact on the release date, which was june 15. to my knowledge that isnt past the annual release date

[ItachiUchiha2010]

@bobthepurpleostrich but when the prototype was lost the annual release date had already passed.

@990123fmily but if you'd had the physical key board available you wouldnt always need to use your iphone in landscape.

@Silver96forever

the last time a prototype was lost it did it delay release? NO!

[bobthepurpleostrich]

i really like the concept of the key board, it gives everybody the option.
