Apple Reportedly Asking Chinese Authorities to Crack Down on iPhone 6 Leaks
- Thread starter MacRumors

- Sort by reaction score
They should bring the security jobs to the US in order to prevent Chinese releases?
Hahaha, thanks for one-upping my “I already regret posting it” gross contribution
Though I wasn’t totally joking, I mean, the effort to really control theft of components and whatnot would be huge.
HUGE
The truth is that I'm sick and tired of "Leaked News". It's like watching spoilers before going to see a movie.
I prefer to see the actual product officially announced.

In this day in age, your only option is to avoid all tech and rumor sites like the plague. Or stay away from the internet altogether.
Not a problem here. Apparently the new iPhone is so huge that average-sized body cavities cannot possibly hold the new one. One will have to upgrade to larger-sized cavities to have any chance of smuggling this much larger phone.
And this just in- new pants with much larger pockets on sale at Target.
LOL, you guys are exaggerating...the new iPhone is not that big.
Those larger pockets pants at Target are for the new Samsung phone which is comparable to a Boom-Box.

Why, if nobody in America wants to work? I can't imagine americans working at a factory's assembly lines 24/7.
Most people whom are willing to do that kind of work are underpaid immigrants.
So instead of bringing more immigrants to America, take the work to them.
Both impossible to accomplish... heheh!
Well, this site is called MacRumors... so that's what I should expect I guess...
I love this site, so I'll just avoid the leak news
Only if you're willing to pay hundreds more.
Apple wouldn't have to have all these leaks if they released a new phone every few months.
Both impossible to accomplish... heheh!
You got a point there lol. Well, just stay away from the front page and only go to the forum sections then.
What is this purpose of this statement? Please don't tell me you think "american" workers are less likely to leak secret....
Solution?
Build the items in the USA where you can more closely monitor your product and also where its perfectly legal to wire tap and monitor the hell out of everyone to make sure no information is leaked.

Surprises are Exciting.
I say right on, Apple! In the early days of the company, I loved the anticipation of new products being announced at MacWorld SF & Boston. It gave the Apple faithful something to look forward to as days dwindled down to The Keynote.
That secrecy also helped to drive the stock price higher not to mention generating massive news coverage & the epic l-o-n-g lines at all the retail stores as they opened around the world.
Bring those fun times back & really button it down. After all, if you can spend $3,000,000,000 for Beats you can spend some more to get the leaks plugged.
Go Apple!

Actually, yes. This Chinese knockoff market is starting to get out of hand. As a designer I find it horrendous that these companies that are paid a great deal of money to manufacture these AMERICAN-designed products turn around, leak the specs, and then run off to create this cheap knockoff ****.
Tim Cook is right, this is a question of character and morality. Unfortunately you don't see a great deal of that in those *specific* markets.
No Kidding
Secrecy is a must in today's spy riddled tech business environment. It also adds the element of surprise which is great.

I'm actually surprised we haven't had more leaks all around. The iPhone is obviously the most hyped product, so I'm not surprised a few mock ups and random parts were able to hitch a ride into the wild, but Time Cook has done a good job keeping his word on secrecy otherwise.
We've basically got no solid info on anything else Apple except a potential iPhone 6 enclosure. Not bad at all.

I hope Apple has asked the Chinese government not to turn the leakers into involuntary organ donors.

That can't be accurate. No edge-to-edge screen? What are those deep recesses around the edge?
