I am just curious: what do you do with these hundreds of phones that
come out of test runs? After all due tests are performed on them,
could they be offered as a sort of lottery draw to list contributors?
(without any warranty, at a reduced price, you name it...) Or do they
just throw them in the garbage bin?!?
For what it's worth, it used to be--this is back in the 90s--that when
Apple produced prototypes, EVT units, PVT units, etc., Apple was able to
take the cost of making them (and a prototype could cost upwards of
$50,000) as a Federal tax deduction as long as the units were destroyed.
That's changed now, but there may be other similar issues in other
geographies.
