Apple has a long history of trying to fine-tune information about its products and culture. Apple issued notes warning its employees not to leak any information about the company. Indeed, Apple has arrested many employees over the time on charges of leaking sensitive information about the company, as many of them were punished by expulsion from the company. Despite these warnings, and those sanctions, Apple's secrets are still leaking to the public. So why do these products keep leaking?
Looking at Steve Jobs' tenure, we find that the leaks are almost non-existent. Except for the iPhone 4 leak, which is not really a leak, but rather an accidental act due to the circumstances of the accident. Where one of the engineers of Apple programs and applications named Gray Powell forgot the iPhone 4 at a bar in a public place after drinking a German beer in Redwood City, California, this is a novel, and in another novel, Gray claimed that his phone was stolen from him. This engineer was tasked with field testing the phone after he put it on the iPhone 3GS cover. Read more about this drama here.
Why increased leaks index after 2011?
After the death of Steve Jobs, Apple had sold 100 million iPhones, and since then Apple has sold nearly 1.2 billion iOS devices. Does this mean that the leaks have income to increase those sales? Says Michael Vogel One of the analysts in the matter of Apple: “It is likely that Apple deliberately caused these leaks in advance before announcing the new devices. How do you explain if 11 million devices were sold during the first three days of its launch?
Certainly, through the leaks, a sufficient idea was formed among customers and technology sites about the new devices. And remember, too, that Apple sold 7 million iPhones from the first original iPhones during the first year, and the devices were for sale on store shelves. In contrast, 11 million iPhone 6s were sold within the first three days of its launch. This huge disparity shows you that the more leaks, the more the product is sold, and vice versa, the greater the product and the greater the demand for it, the more leaks. You agree and disagree with this view.
One of Jobs's friends, Walt Mossberg, says Jobs was a radical "fanatic and violent" when it came to secrecy, and all tech bloggers knew this. But it seems that his colleagues did not share this thinking. You certainly saw how Phil Schiller disclosed with ease about the iPhone SE before it was announced, which would not have happened in the era of Jobs.
Is Apple still wary of the leaks?
Clint Potts (director of training at three Apple centers) believes that Apple remains very cautious about the issue of leaks. However, there are people who make a living trying to advertise the latest expected hardware features. Therefore, they closely monitor and search for gaps, and when they get something, even a very small one, such as only one picture, chart, or the like, they sell that information, and articles are published on hundreds of specialized websites. Analysts go out on television programs, talking about these expected devices and their features. Thus, this simple information generates a lot of money for many. Thus, this information and analysis about Apple devices is a free advertisement for them, and it is much better than spending huge money on those ads.
Leaks and stock price hikes
It is possible that this leaked information may contribute, in one way or another, to raising the company's shares and increasing the demand for it. This is what actually happened, as Apple shares hit a record high last Thursday, as soon as the date for the launch of the new devices is announced on September 12th. The share recorded more than $ 228. The great investor Warren Buffett last Thursday spoke to CNBC saying, “When the iPhone was launched at a price of $ 1000, it was greatly exaggerated, but now we see it with a lot of people. This means that many people do not care about the price as long as the product is strong and meets their needs and desires.
When I entered the Gray Powell article link in the archive of your website, and after I read the old article and read the comments, I was attracted to a comment by Brother Ben Sami when he accused Yvonne Islam of transferring the article's information from the Swalif site, and the blog’s director responded angrily to him, which means that Brother Bin Sami was a reader and Commenting like us before joining Yvonne Islam and becoming one of its pillars and one of the best editors of an article on the site of Yvonne Islam Glory be to God I thought that Brother Bin Sami was one of the founders of Yvonne Islam
We are in a time of technology and tremendous development, and it is very difficult that you can hide information, especially if you are a large company and you have a whole country of employees
And Apple's partners and factories are even better than others. Many companies leak a complete device B with all the specifications, even a phone box, and they check it before a company announces itself.
😳
I think, to a large extent, that Apple has its share of these leaks, and it is definitely benefiting from that
I am with that Apple is behind these leaks
But why are so many people interested in these leaks? That is because Apple is a strong company with its customers and a lot of followers, and in return, another device may appear from another company and many people have not heard of that
To be honest, there is nothing that is dazzling by the leaks
I personally do not need leaks
Only 10 days left on the Apple announcement
So why hurry? 🤔
If the leaks are of benefit to the company, such as that they contribute to increasing sales and raising the company's shares, as you mentioned, I think that Apple is deliberately publishing the leaks; Because of the increase in profits for the company.
It seems that the leaks have hit you
This is tomorrow's article, but it is leaked
Because you used to display one article per day
Except for the urgent news
The truth is that Apple is the source of the alleged “leaks” and does this on purpose, and that is meant by the early propaganda of its devices, which is not as it has accused many people that it maintains secrecy and discreet, and it is as he wants to publish some news, so he says that to some talkative people and tells them this A secret do not disclose it ?? !! Then, after five minutes, you will see that your news has reached the ends of the planet
I think Apple is taking advantage of the leaks that make the world anxious and eager to buy its phone ... but at the same time it is afraid of giant companies stealing their work, and imitating it on their devices from many companies, the first of which is Samsung ...
Now I am anxious and I will do the order when it is available, and every year I do that, and frankly a phone worth buying, and we gave you success
Thank you, brother Mahmoud
Leaks are done by assembly workers at Foxconn, Picatron and other factories, where they save the designs unseenly and divulge them to the designers, and in turn they make a true copy based on the information.
The leaks bother me very much because I will lose the suspense and I do not expect that this is in the interest of the investors. In the real estate field the investor is interested in the sales of the project, its design and its features. High If the company has high cash, which exposes the company’s shares to a rapid rise, because no matter how much money, everyone will get attractive profits. The distant conclusion is that Apple has to protect its shares, otherwise the drop will be resounding because it has a great wealth that competes with banks strongly. Therefore, financial institutions such as banks may pump money until the bubble in Apple shares grows and collapses to the normal level and this is what the banks went through in 2008, the numbers in the computer are greater than the cash money How much did Apple offer to revive its market? All devices and services have been around for 8 years
I think it goes back to the Arabian walnut genes of discretion, secrecy and assertiveness
This year there are few leaks
So far, the leaks are only about the shape of the iPhone and the name of this iPhone 😂
Even the picture, which was published a few days ago
She did not disclose anything ...
The design itself, and this is known, as Apple changed the design last year, and it will last for many years. I mean, the picture did not bring anything new at all except to enlarge the size of the iPhone screen
The leaks are supposed to be about the camera and the internal specifications of the device
The question that arises is whether Apple will be satisfied with his kindness
Ok, how do you achieve sales? 😂
