Which is more likely: Someone created a truly impressive and convincingly realistic fake iphone which they subsequently "lost" in the hopes that someone would find it and leak/sell it to the media.

OR

Mr. Sewell has a lot of oldish letterhead that he needs to use up?

I'm sure that's the real deal, I thought it was funny that in a company so design oriented, a VP still uses letterhead from 2005. Usually big companies destroy the old stationery after a branding change.

I never thought I would write this – but, yeah, that’s linkbait.

The article is about the stationary of the letter Gizmodo got from Apple, asking them to give the iPhone back. The stationary seems out of date.

Now if it was stationary from the future well then it'd be a real story!

Maybe legal department is the last to get the latest updated stationary.

If Apple's 'green' claims are to be taken seriously they can't be throwing out all sorts of paper when they update their logo or font.

I noticed that the letter says "sent via email" — perhaps this is just a recreation by Gizmodo based on the text of the email...

That's also when the paper copy is a hard copy of an email previously sent.

He offers no evidence than Apple has some a wide standard for letterhead. That was a pretty worthless article.
