Apple already got the iPhone back and they still do this. Come on.
The person on the screen on Apple's 1984 commerical is now Steve Jobs.

I like how they took the time to spell 'External' correctly on the search warrant inventory...
Very bad PR (and I am no hater). What do they really want to gain from doing something like this..
Horse. Door. Bolt.
A clean shot to the foot.
Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
Apple going over the top...
How unlike them.

As a representative of Apple Corporation, I'm sending the police round to confiscate all your computers, monitors, servers, memory thumb usb stick drives and kitchen utensils.Originally Posted by snootyjim
You will be refunded.
Hmmmm, and we know that Apple had anything to do with the police involvement how?
This has been a very well publicised case. Its fairly easy to imagine that the police did this off their own bat? No?

Pathetic on Apple's part. Big time.
Small time.
Big whoop,
Gizmodo paid $5000 for stolen goods. That's a felony, they're getting rapped for it.
LOL you are kidding me right? They even ask Apple if this was theirs and they didn't respond to them. It was only after they published this on the Internet that they are getting rapped for it. They even gave the iPhone back to them after Apple acknowledged it was theirs.
What an utter farce! Who at Apple thought this would be worth the mountain of bad PR to them?
This. Seriously, this could actually be about absolutely anything. It may have no relation to the iPhone incident at all, and even if it is related to that the action could've been taken on anyone's behest. In general, the police do not search people's houses because corporations ask them to. They take these sorts of actions when they are investigating a reported crime. If someone has reported a crime and Jason Chen is suspected to be involved in it, then they need to search his property to uncover evidence.
That said, of course this could be a massive over-reaction to the iPhone incident, but until and unless more details become available I think it's a bit tight to drag Apple over the coals for something they almost certainly have no direct involvement in.
The search warrant mentioned seizing any "photographs or video of the Apple prototype iPhone 4G" ...

Fair enough - I had been reading through that but had to stop for fear of stabbing myself in the face through boredom
In which case, that point fails but the rest of my post stands. In particular, it's been well published that he knowingly bought a stolen item, which is a felony in itself, regardless of whether he tried to return it to Apple thereafter. When the entire world knows that someone bought a stolen iPhone prototype, it's hard for the police not to investigate. No reason to think they were investigating at Apple's behest...
True, but Apple haven't got the best track record in these matters.
This one doesn't involve death yet though, so that's a plus for them.
