Steve Jobs apparently designed the next two iPhones

We all know that the high-end smartphones like the iPhone cost a lot of money. Thieves especially are well aware of that. The number of expensive gadgets being stolen has been on the rise recently, as more and more consumers purchase such apparel.

In San Francisco alone, the iPhone accounts for more than half of the devices reported as stolen. Therefore, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón met with smartphone makers and carriers alike in an attempt to find a solution to the situation. Even if the purpose was noble, coming up with a battle plan wasn’t about to be easy as Gascón discovered. He humorously stated that his talk with Apple’s government connection Michael Foulkes let nowhere:

“He did most of the talking. It was incredible. He would just go on and on, one subject to the next. It was hard to follow. It was almost like some​​one who’s been trained in the art of doing a lot of talking and saying nothing."

The discussions, however, revealed something interesting nevertheless, so Gascón’s suffering wasn’t all in vain. For example, Foulkes said that Apple has already the blueprints for the next two generation of iPhone and that those iPhones were designed before Steve Job’s death.

Foulkes also explained that Apple was researching an anti-theft device, something like a “kill switch” kind of system, so if the phone gets stolen, relevant parties are immediately notified.

In the aftermath of the discussions, no plan has been made yet and Gascón feels that Apple is not really interested in iPhone thefts because overall "there's just too much being made on stolen phones."
