Apple’s Demo iPhones Can Place Calls And Leave Caller ID

Image025
As you might expect, Apple has thrown out tons of iPhone demo units so you can get the full experience in the store. As you might not expect, it’s actually capable of placing calls – and Apple isn’t blocking caller ID. How do I know? Because I accidentally called the Hayes Street Grill in San Francisco and hung up in horror. And then leaped back as a return call came in. I answered, of course. I then called my fiancee to capture the number of the phone. I would think this is a bad idea for Apple to have those numbers readily available, but what the heck? The number is 408-398-9220. Please use it responsibly – this can be the new John Appleseed number.
