When China jailed three people for leaking details of soon-to-be launched Apple gadget
Three Foxconn R&D employees in China were sentenced to prison for leaking details about the iPad 2 before its launch. The employees received sentences ranging from one year to 18 months and were fined between $4,500 and $23,000 for violating trade secrets. The arrests, which took place in December 2010, highlight Apple's aggressive stance on protecting its product secrecy. It also shows how importamt it is for the largest manufacturer of Apple's product to ensure this secrecy around the company's products. The three Foxconn employees reportedly provided digital images of the iPad 2's design to Shenzhen MacTop Electronics, an Apple-compatible accessory manufacturer founded in 2004. In exchange, MacTop paid the employees 20,000 yuan (approximately $3,000) and offered discounts on its products. This allowed MacTop to produce iPad 2 cases ahead of competitors, gaining a market edge. According to Cult of Mac, 'The leaked information gave MacTop a significant head start, showcasing how valuable Apple's trade secrets are in the competitive accessory market.' Apple's strict secrecy policy for its products Despite this high-profile case, leaks of Apple products persist, given the thousands of workers involved in its supply chain, many earning low wages. 'It's actually surprising that more Apple leaks don't surface, considering the scale of their manufacturing operations,' Cult of Mac noted. Apple's secrecy measures have since intensified, including deploying undercover security teams and imposing multimillion-dollar fines on suppliers who fail to safeguard confidential information. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo While Apple CEO Tim Cook has been slightly more forthcoming about future plans than Steve Jobs, the company remains fiercely protective of its hardware details. A leaked internal memo a few years ago underscored the severe consequences for employees who disclose sensitive information. With billions at stake in product launches, Apple's ongoing battle against leaks shows no signs of slowing down. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Savvy shoppers can pick up Bluetooth tracker for £5 with deal
Argos shoppers can pick up this Apple-compatible device for less than a takeaway A Bluetooth tracker can be a real godsend for shoppers heading on holiday or Brits who constantly lose their wallets or purses, especially for serial misplacers. One major drawback is some trackers like Apple's AirTag can cost shoppers more than £20 for one, which can be a tough pill to swallow. But we have a sneaky deal to get this Eufy Bluetooth wallet tracker for £5. The EufySmartCard tracker is a slim device that can fit into most wallets and purses to ensure users can track their belongings. For Apple users, the device works with Apple Find My to track the item finder and receive free left-behind alerts on their phone. The items can also be tracked using the Eufy Security app. The Eufy wallet tracker also has an alarm which can be activated from a mobile phone to help locate the finder. There is also a button on the finder to help locate a mobile phone. One big warning to shoppers is that this device is set up for iPhones and not Android. It can be attached to passports, wallets, purses or other items. Shoppers can pick it up for £5 with TopCashback, thanks to a £15 cashback bonus when they sign up as new customers. But how do shoppers get this price? All shoppers have to do to claim the cashback offer is to sign up for TopCashback, search for Argos and click 'Get Cashback Now'. Afterwards just shop for the tablet and checkout as usual. For new TCB members and new Argos customers, shoppers will pay £4.74 after cashback and for new TCB members and existing Argos customers, they'll pay £4.82 after cashback - instead of the full £19.99 price. Sound confusing? Here's a step-by-step guide on how Brits can grab the deal. Meanwhile, if shoppers want an alternative, Apple diehards need not worry, however, as the Apple Air Tag is currently down to £28 on Amazon. Or the Tile Mate comes in at £20. However, if you opt for Tile, a downside is its paid-for subscription fees to unlock better tracking. Grab the eufy Bluetooth tracker for £5 from Argos Begin by signing up as new members via this given TopCashback link. Find Argos on the site and hit 'Get Cashback Now'. Shop and check out as usual on the Argos website. Sit tight; cashback will track and pop up in your TopCashback account within seven working days of the transaction. Reviewers have also been gushing over the eufy Bluetooth tracker in reviews. One shopper said: "Easily fits in a wallet and app works well to pinpoint the location of the card. Only downside I can see is that the battery isn't replaceable." However, some people did complain about how bulky the device was to use. One user said: "In my honest opinion, it is too bulky for small wallets/purse. It could be easily hidden inside a handbag, though. I like the general idea, but this item is definitely not for me/us. Personally I bought a tag from another brand which suits my needs much better. Just my opinion, everyone will be different." Another shopper said: "Great tracker. It actually does more than I thought. While using the Apple Find My Network you do not need to have an Apple device. Not only can I track the device, but it can buzz my phone if that's what I'm having trouble finding."
