Don't get too close to the iphone

There are only TWO iphones on display. Under glass, and there are crowds around both of them. These is also security, and this article talks about the scene around the iPhones.

I moved in a bit to get a closer look at the demo running on the screen. As I leaned forward, I heard this firm (but very polite) voice beside me: “Sir, if you would please just step back a bit from the display case, thank you.” Whoops. Apparently that last step forward I took had violated the iPhone’s invisible Cone of Protection—it seems the cone extends out from the display case to a distance of a foot or two. I was half tempted to remain in place, to see what the iPhone protectors’ next course of action might have been—but then decided that explaining to my wife why I needed bail money in California wouldn’t be a pleasant conversation.
