Apple has revealed to San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón that the next two iPhones slated for release were designed under Steve Jobs, reports SF Examiner.

Gascón met with Apple in hopes to find answers on how to slow down smartphone thefts in San Francisco. He wants manufacturers to implement technology that could disable devices after they've been reported stolen. The meeting disheartened him.

“It was very underwhelming,” Gascón said about the hourlong talk with Apple’s government liaison, Michael Foulkes. “He did most of the talking. It was incredible. He would just go on and on, one subject to the next. It was hard to follow. It was almost like someone who’s been trained in the art of doing a lot of talking and saying nothing.”

Most notably, Gascón said Foulkes talked about the long laborious process of researching and deploying this technology for devices, adding that that the next two generations of iPhones have already been developed.

“They preceded Tim Cook,” the district attorney was told.

I am iphone user and I feel, they are trying every dirty technique to boost lowering sells, Now this if so called next 2 iphones were developed in Steve's presence then why iphone 6 was not released instead of iphone 4S?

Anyone who knows Steve would know that, even one day before mass production Steve could change his mind on the design, size and everything about the product, and because of this fact, NO Apple product after his death would be his products. Steve's last iPhone was iPhone 4S and even if he had seen the prototype of the iPhone 5 and agreed about it, it wouldn't be his product untill one day before start of the mass production. I will believe no one that states the new Apple products as Steve products! I am so sure that there are many changes after him that he would never like, including the new packaging for the iMacs that are changed shape from perfect minimal rectangle to something between rectangle and triangle! RIP Steve Jobs and I wish he wouldn't see what is happening in his Apple Computers.

It just seems like they are milking Steve's name for all it's worth. They had said the 5 was Steve's last phone, now this? Sounds a tad desperate. ESP if they up the screen within the next 2 phones (wont happen on 5s. But might on 6). That in itself would make it a lie - as Steve said 3.5 was the perfect size.... With all of that being said, my iPhone 5 has been fantastic (except battery life, but I expected that. Lte is a pig)

last month, i angrily threw my iphone5 against the wall during a bad fight with my wife. I think, luckily it landed on it's back. But i know it hit hard. I regret doing it (and the fighting) but don't regret about choosing the phone. No scratch, no dent, and of course i used the same iphone5 to post this comment. Apple product users very seldom bash on other products or manufacturers; but non-apple users very often do bash against apple & it's products. I'm quite puzzled. I say just choose and buy your preferred phone/gadget and be satisfied with it. Everybody has a choice.

So trueeee.

Apple is desperate! They need to focus on something new rather then saying it was designed by Steve. People want to see something amazing from once an amazing company, personally I left apple and its products last year after i bought a MBP retina 15" they forced me to pay for the operating system. Every new computer on the market comes with the operating system and a backup. After many emails with Apple I found out that customer service is not like it used to be.

DavidG - April 2, 2013 at 2:38pm

Did everyone forget Steve Jobs mentioned he DID leave plans for the next five years after his death? I believe this news to be true. Perhaps not for every product such as iPad mini but he did leave plans and I think the iPhone being his baby this is a big possibility. Samsung people please stop trying to discredit this statement. Haters.

Do you have a link to backup your statement?

Wow - April 2, 2013 at 11:39am

You all have seen how many patents apple has but never uses. They plan in advance. Why is it so hard to believe that the next two phones were made under him? Apple probably has the next 4 already planned. It's just how they work.

mrdezan - April 2, 2013 at 2:06pm

Will in near future.

Someone Else - April 2, 2013 at 2:42pm

Then scrap the two inbetween, and get the 4th to production next.

GRUP - April 2, 2013 at 4:39am

You almost got me april fool's

Waleesa - April 2, 2013 at 3:13am

Guys, as someone pointed out, this might be an April Fool's joke. Otherwise, pathetic. Apple Demystified - bit.ly/MySBDm

Vai76 - April 2, 2013 at 2:05am

so this is the reason that steve said wow for 4 times?

Niema - April 2, 2013 at 1:40am

Steve Job's last project was on iphone 5 and thats it. No more using him for marketing apple. Apple head starting to hate apple. Selling my iphone5 and getting that S4 or may be HTC 1. Sorry Apple ! RIP you served me good.

mrdezan - April 2, 2013 at 10:11am

Steve Jobs made products for Apple for 10years ahead, not just iPhone 5. iPhone 5 was last product before dead.

My Name - April 2, 2013 at 1:03am

I would say get a sense of humour on April fool's day! Fools!

Stephen - April 1, 2013 at 11:27pm

Good marketing scheme Apple. They see the start of a downward trend and they're trying anything to save it. No more Steve Jobs = Apple's downfall.

odedoo1 - April 1, 2013 at 9:40pm

and it is a lie, The technology for the iPhone 5 and iPad mini was not around when Steve Jobs was still alive, also Steve would have never design devices that would give apple a bad name, he also said never on the iPad mini so it's all a lie by Tim cook that don't want to accept the responsibility to his own mess!

Someone's feeling cynical today...

DH - April 1, 2013 at 11:55pm

Strangely enough, Apple like every other manufacturer (except maybe Blackberry) forecasts technology trends and designs devices ahead of the technology existing. That allows them to corner specific technology supplies ahead of their competitors. The compromises come when a technology trend doesn't materialise or manufacturers don't think it's commercially worth buying or investing in technology suppliers. Steve Jobs undoubtedly designed many upcoming devices before his death. You only need to look at the patents he personally held.

TC - April 2, 2013 at 3:34am

His ass can talk for hours on end but not really say anything.

Spence - April 1, 2013 at 9:38pm

Maybe that means it will be better than the 5... maybe

Culua - April 1, 2013 at 9:35pm

So they are using mediums to talk to the dead for ideas!

odedoo1 - April 1, 2013 at 9:34pm

any way they can lock an iPhone if its reported stolen, so what's his problem?

Neil - April 1, 2013 at 8:41pm

Sounds like a sales tactic using his name so people think he worked on it

Al - April 1, 2013 at 8:31pm

I say bullshit. I dont think he even developed 5 it feels cheap and gets scratched over nothing unlike its predecessors

Mike - April 2, 2013 at 8:45am

Wow, iPhone 5 feels cheap?! Try holding a Galaxy phone and you will know what's it like to hold a phone that feels cheap... I can't believe they still make them with those cheap plastic back covers :)
