From Steve’s Office
“You lost an iPhone?”
He paused before answering. “Yes, sir.”
Steve Jobs twitched slightly.
“You lost an unreleased iPhone?”
“Yes, sir.”
Again, Steve Jobs twitched almost imperceptibly.
Steve slowly withdrew something from his pocket, and then handed it to the iPhone-loser.
Mr. iPhone-loser accepted it and looked at it quizzically. “What—?”
“You lost an iPhone, you need a new one.”
“But I lost—”
“You lost an iPhone once. You are now less likely to lose one in the future.”
“I’m not sure—”
“You fall off a horse, you have to get back on.”
“But—”
“Why are you not testing that device?”
“Yes, sir.”
Again, Steve Jobs twitched slightly.
