Steve Jobs Interviewed By Police Over iPhone 4 Prototype

We haven’t heard of the “stolen” iPhone 4 prototype story for a while, nor do we have had any updates on the police investigation that is still ongoing. Apple hasn’t commented publicly on the matter since last April, and it’s not that we’re missing the whole headline war to get the latest scoop on Jason Chen and Brian Hogan love affair - we’re just curious to know how this will end.

Macnn is reporting (via CNET) that a number of Apple employees have been interviewed by the police together with Apple CEO himself, Steve Jobs, about the allegedly stolen iPhone prototype. Read more

Steve Jobs Confirms White iPhone 4 Available for Christmas?

The white iPhone 4 has become some sort of unicorn amongstApple devices: where is it? It should have been available by launch, then it was delayed, and delayed again, and delayed again. We heard rumors about Apple facing issues with Chinese manufacturers (light leaking out of the metal band) and we also heard that, anyway, Apple should have the white model ready “later this year”.

Ping: The Woz Approves

I don’t like Ping, but who am I to go against what the Woz says?

Steve Jobs Fourth Best-Paid Executive in the World

For a guy who only makes a $1 a year at Apple, he’s doing pretty good. The man’s worth approximately $759 million.

Apple’s Mr. Jobs also took a $1 annual salary throughout the decade. But he ranked fourth primarily because of a $647 million gain on restricted stock that was granted in 2003 and vested in 2006. He still holds the shares.

Apple directors gave Mr. Jobs the restricted stock in exchange for stock options that were then worthless, but which ultimately would have been worth more than the restricted stock had Mr. Jobs held them. Apple later acknowledged that some of the options exchanged for the restricted shares had been backdated, boosting their value, and restated its financial results. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
