History typically repeats itself. The finest example of this saying came from Apple whose iPhone 5 prototype is said to be lost in a bar. Reports of the loss of an iPhone prototype, the second instance in a year and a half, has created suspicion that the entire event could be a publicity stunt by Apple to market the device. In April 2010, Apple lost an iPhone 4 prototype that went missing in a bar just before its release. But Apple was lucky to get it back after it had been sold by a finder to tech blog Gizmodo for $5000. But this time Apple is having a tough time getting back its iPhone 5, which was reportedly sold on Craiglist for $200.
