Apple confirmed that the next-generation iPhone obtained by a technology blog is the company's, and it has asked for it back.

In a letter yesterday to Gizmodo, the site that paid $5,000 for the iPhone prototype, Bruce Sewell, Apple's general counsel, requested that the smartphone be returned.

"It has come to our attention that Gizmodo is currently in possession of a device that belongs to Apple," wrote Sewell in the three-sentence letter. "This letter constitutes a formal request that you return the device to Apple. Please let me know where to pick up the unit."
