Former Apple Employees Leaking Information

We all know that when it comes to secrets Apple is a whole different story, begging their employees not to dish out any secrets on upcoming projects and releases. Their former employees have found a way to reveal some unknown information to the public. They use a website called Quora and on a thread called "How does Apple keep it's secrets so well?" you will find quite a lot of interesting information.


Here is an interesting piece, written by a former employee who wants to remain anonymous:

"All prototypes are laser marked with serial numbers and tracked by a central tracking system (called iTrack). Physical security is also highly prioritized, with prototypes required to be locked up when not in use. Access to prototypes is also restricted, and the default assumption within the company is that your coworkers do not know what you're working on.
Physical access to the areas of certain groups (product design, industrial design and reliability) is highly restricted by badge access. The most sensitive areas, such as the Industrial Design Studio, have receptionists, external cameras to screen guests, and require an escort to vouch for you. Within these areas and groups, knowledge of the product pipeline and access to prototypes is widespread, but that knowledge doesn't leave the group."...

Will We See an iWatch?

Many rumours are pointing towards Apple releasing an iWatch soon, but are they true? They suggest that the iWatch will take voice commands, thanks to Siri, and will be able to post Facebook statuses and tweets. The watch will have to be an intelligent piece of machinery in order to attract the attention that Apple might be hoping for. It is also rumoured that the iWatch will be able to communicate with other iDevices, but is that going a bit too far? We all love using high-tech devices and being able to keep up to date with the latest goings on, but won't that turn the 'still to be' iWatch into a much smaller version of the iPhone?

Apple haven't revealed any information yet as they like to keep things quiet, but they haven't denied the fact that there might be an iWatch coming this year, in September perhaps. Numerous rumours suggest that the iWatch will have a 1 inch retina display with multitouch capabilities, an aluminium body with a sleek finish and a clever wrist strap - also made of aluminium, or another 'space-age' material. It would be able to connect to other Apple devices via Bluetooth and connect to wi-fi networks, check the weather and maybe play a bit of music. But what about battery life? It would be nice if Apple fitted the iWatch with wireless charging, which would be similar to what Nokia are using on their phones. However, all that tech is sure to come with a hefty price tag, definitely in the region of £100 to £200. What do you think - will the iWatch even be materialised or is it just a distant dream?
