The secret gadget found in Vietnam is similar to the one found in the Silicon Valley bar, and it was given to a mobile phone accessory dealer in Ho Chi Minh City, said reports.

However, according to The Telegraph, it might be a fake Chinese model.

Meanwhile, according to a CNNMoney.com report, Apple has said the theft and leak of its new iPhone prototype will have a "huge" negative effect on the company's earnings.

Citing recently released court documents, the report quoted Apple attorney George Riley as telling a detective that the leaked images of the phone were "immensely damaging" to the company.

“By publishing details about the phone and its features ... people that would have otherwise purchased a currently existing Apple product would wait for the next item to be released, thereby hurting overall sales and negatively affecting Apple's earnings," Riley said, according to the detective's affidavit.

If the report of the leak is true, the major question is: who leaked it? Do you think this Apple's great wall of secrecy is being breached by its own employees? Or, is there a spy doing the round in Apple?
