To prevent leaks, Apple requires employees to wear body camera


Apple

The smartphone industry is plagued with leaks that sometimes ruin the surprise from manufacturers. While some companies appreciate leaks and could even leak their designs, others don’t. One of the major critics of leaks is Apple. Simply put, Apple hates leaks. According to a recent report, the company will make some of its employees wear ā€œpolice-gradeā€ body cameras. This is the latest effort from the company to curtail leaks of proprietary information.

wear body camera

According to Front Page Tech, some not all Apple employees will have to wear body cameras. FPT reports ā€œThe company has taken this new dramatic step to ensure that its hardware trade secrets stay out of the hands of leakers,ā€.

Like we said above, not all Apple employees will wear a body camera. Probably, only employees with access to proprietary hardware information will have to wear this gadget. Nevertheless, it is important to note that there is no information on the number of body cameras that an employee will have to wear.

The irony here is that this report is also a leak which implies that even the body cameras may not stop internal information from leaking. As of now, we don’t know how Apple intends to use the body camera to stop leaks. An employee can simply memorize the bottom – line of the document without even looking at the document. How will the body camera stop this?

Apple is after me – says Jon Prosser

Jon Prosser, the owner of Front Page Tech and a popular Apple leakster recently released a video with the titleĀ ā€œApple is coming after me for LEAKSā€¦ā€

Prosser claims that the First Amendment protects him as a journalist. He passively mentions the body camera rumors and stated that Apple went after a Dutch artist (concept) that producedĀ renders of AirPods MaxĀ andĀ AirTags. However, he vehemently denies giving any money for the information (leaks) he gets. He saidĀ ā€œIā€™ve never paid a source…No money has ever exchanged hands. No transactions have happened. And Iā€™ve always made clear to employees that they are under no pressure to give me information.ā€

Leaks keep rolling out despite Apple’s efforts

Despite all the company’s hardwprk to keep information within the company, Apple’s employess seem to love to talk. The company has even warned employees about severe punishments if any leak is linked to them. However, this seems not to be stopping anything. While some leaksters get their information directly from Apple’s employees, others go to the supply chain, monitor what they do and infer what Apple will probably do.
