YouTuber claims to “have receipts” disproving Apple’s allegations.

According to the filing, Lipnik has been fired from Apple “for failing to follow Apple’s policies designed to protect its confidential information, including development devices and unreleased software and features.” The filing also accuses Lipnik of failing to report “multiple prior breaches” to Apple.

When you sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), you’d best protect the secrets. Then again, the guy who left an iPhone 4 in a bar didn’t lose his job. Wonder what the differences are between them.

    seems incongruous to me that the NDA is that strict but the prototypes are allowed out in the wild. I guess they need real world testing somehow.

      Prototypes are not allowed out in the wild anymore. There was a massive shift in policy after the iPhone 4 incident.

      It is about managing risk, you do need real world testing for many products, and it is impossible to do that without risking the public sees it (you could camouflage it like they do with cars) , but at the same time it probably isn’t suitable to take an unreleased phone into a bar where the risk of losing it is higher than say a grocery store.
