After the death of Steve Jobs was much talk about the future of Apple since it was the strongest pillar of the company. However, at the time also spoke of the legacy that Steve had left after his death and beyond being a visionary, Jobs did his best to continue his beloved company on track. That is why months before the launch of iPhone 5S is rumored that the genius of Cupertino was closely following its development as well as two future devices. Now he has returned to mention that Steve Jobs designed part of the next two iPhone.

As reported in the blog MacTrast, the district attorney of San Francisco, George Gascón, has been commissioned to reveal that Jobs participated in the design of the next two iPhone while it apparently was in contact with the company based in California and he received confirmation from Michael Foulkes, the manager of the bond business - government. 

According to this information, the contact began after the increase in the rate of robberies in mobile devices, since in San Francisco one of the devices has been stolen iPhone. For the same reason George Gascón participated with Apple to develop a system that could disable devices remotely and reduce the number of thefts.

The truth is that this statement is not entirely surprising. Steve Jobs was known for his obsessive attention to detail, in fact, it is well known that often used to design products well in advance. There is even a belief that the company has other products previously designed by Steve Jobs and most likely helped design part of the next two iPhone and many other things.
