APPLE'S secrecy about product launches is legendary.
But when chief executive Steve Jobs takes the stage this week, the world may have already had a glimpse of what is expected to be the next iPhone.
Mr Jobs is the keynote speaker at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco this week, an annual event at which the tech giant reveals its latest must-have devices.
This year's conference, which has attracted more than 5000 developers, carries less mystery than years past due to an Apple software engineer's unfortunate evening in a California beer garden a little over two months ago.
The engineer, Robert "Gray'' Powell, lost a prototype of the next-generation iPhone while drinking at the Gourmet Haus Staudt near Apple headquarters earlier this year.
