REWARD! Please HELP! I know things are rough, but if anyone finds a strange looking iPhone, please DM me. It's a prototype and my dad is going to kill me for taking it. I will pay reward if found. (self.BurningMan)

I'm dead if I have to go home without it.

I took a screen cap in case it gets deleted

Thinking about it, wouldn't Apple geofence prototype devices? Like if it went out of the bay area security would be notified

With a couple weeks left it wouldn’t be a big deal anyway. Let me guess; USB C, big goofy camera, boring color and round…

No signal at Burning man - that’s one of the big selling points…

We need a poll for this.

Is it the dad's fault for violating NDA and leaving it unsecured? Or kid's fault for stealing the iPhone?

Sounds like a lot of BS to me....

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet folks!

Most likely not real, I doubt someone would risk their job so their son can show off an unreleased iPhone

If true and it's as muddy as everyone says then it'll probably turn up fossilised in a few million years...

not entirely true - wifi with internet via starlink

center camp had (slow) wifi even 10 years ago
