Apple is considered one of the most discreet and secure companies in the world for its research and its new products, if not the most, but in recent years we have become accustomed to the presence of leaks of new iPhones from Apple factories, but this year’s leaks are very powerful and have described most of the pivotal advantages of the i- IPhone 8, what is the reason for the severity of the leaks for this year? Is this a game played for people to gauge their reactions and make decisions based on people's interaction?
The iPhone has a lot
We used to see some leaks And they were all related to the design of the phone where initial versions of the device’s structure or designs for its own were leaked, so why were the system specifications leaked this year and also most of what Apple will announce after a month has been leaked? Well, this time we have one of the most important factors, which is the large and expected update of the iPhone, so a lot of features were searched that could fit with the design, such as canceling the touch identity technology or even placing it under the screen, so we can conclude from the design and also talk about improving the camera. For augmented reality (AR) and other features that Apple had previously patented several times and fit the design so it was easy for analysts to anticipate.
Many leaks career
Year after year, leaks increase dramatically, but are they just to sabotage Apple's surprises? Of course not, these leaks are a source of work for many people, starting with analysts, passing through the sources of leaks inside Apple and its factories, and ending with the technical press, which you write about, so a strong leakage circle was formed that seeks to leak new specifications firsthand, and the department also went to leak specifications under trial that may appear after two or three .
The sources are multiple
Also, the sources of leaks and confirmations varied greatly for this year, as the big and expected changes in the iPhone 8 do not come for free, but you need contracts with parts suppliers and with the makers of accessories and the like, so there are many sources that can carry out any leak, so one of the leaks came from the President of Sharp, where he stated That the next iPhone contains an OLED screen, and several statements regarding specifications and price have appeared from workers at the Foxconn factory that assembles the iPhone, and do not forget Ming-Chi Kuo Which is considered the most accurate source of leaks over the previous years.
Apple is a giant company
Apple is a company that is not small, and in such companies the production of the phone takes place in several stages, it starts with the initial design inside the headquarters of the parent company and is often the most secure, and then the design goes through several stages of consulting installation factories and parts providers, as well as the phone's passage through many production lines, experiment and troubleshooting. All this leads to the device being passed through several sides, which makes it difficult to know the source of the leak, control it and punish it.
Apple's role in the leaks
Yes, even with multiple leaks, we cannot be 100% sure in the habit, but this time we are completely sure of the shape of the iPhone 8 and this is because of Apple itself! It has released the firmware (platform) of its HomePod smart speakers, which the developers found in its files a simplified image of the iPhone 8, which fits perfectly with the leaks that we have seen so far.
Did Apple participate intentionally?
Everyone assumes that this information came out of the Apple camp by mistake, but could it be intended? This is not excluded, as these leaks have given Apple many direct and financial benefits. With the beginning of the iPhone 8 leaks in 2016, the value of Apple’s shares skyrocketed, and with each new leak, the strength of Apple’s shares is confirmed because it reassures investors that what is in Apple’s pocket is not exhausted yet. Also, all these leaks play another role, which is preparing users for any potential change, such as losing the Touch ID feature (if it was already) or as happened with the iPhone 7, and users were prepared months before that to lose the headphone entrance.
We lost the element of surprise
These leaks narrate human curiosity greatly and also contribute to the work of the technological press, but we lost one of the most important factors that I personally loved in Apple conferences, which is the element of surprise and waiting for the new, while we find this enthusiasm with the WWDC conference and system updates, the iPhone conferences became less exciting because we are on He knew a lot even before Apple announced it .. So, no matter what new or wonderful the company announces, it will not be completely fascinated because we simply know its shape in advance and know many basic features.
