Apple employees must love a good drink. An Apple employee has, yet again, lost an unreleased iPhone prototype in a bar, according to <em>CNET. </em>The iPhone was lost in Cava22, a bar in San Francisco’s Mission District, late last month and Apple quickly tried to recover the lost device. The Cupertino-based company tracked the phone to a house in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights where investigators spoke to “a man in his twenties” who had been at Cava22 the day the iPhone was lost. The man denied knowing about the phone, despite a cash and “no questions asked” offer from Apple, and nothing was found when the man gave police permission to search his home. The phone was reportedly later sold on Craigslist for $200 to an unknown buyer according to <em>CNET’s</em> source, though it is unclear how the source gained knowledge of the sale. Last year, <em>Gizmodo</em> purchased a lost iPhone 4 prototype and published photos of the handset before it was unveiled. Apple is expected to announce its <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/19/att-vp-iphone-5-coming-in-early-october-prepare-to-get-really-really-busy/">next-generation iPhone in October</a>.<span id="more-102334"></span><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20099899-37/apple-loses-another-unreleased-iphone-exclusive/">Read</a>
