Apple Reportedly Asking Chinese Authorities to Crack Down on iPhone 6 Leaks

[Haynzee]

Seems a little late to crack down on leaks of iPhone 6. Maybe a new product is going into production soon though, I don't know, a watch maybe and Apple wants too keep it under wraps!

Bring the jobs to America.

And then never get the product you buy? *caughmacprocaugh* 😛 😉

I'd ask Tim Cook if cheap, exploited Chinese labor is worth the leaks and ethical problems. Suicide nets, sir.

It seem as though he's already answered that question.

Apple could put a stop to all of these leaks by moving iPhone production to US but of course then a very few people could actually afford to buy one so...

Is these were American jobs, this wouldn't be happening.

I know everyone here hates Microsoft, but you have to credit them for keeping things AIR TIGHT. The Surface Pro 3 shocked everyone.

Apple can learn from them, IMO.

IIRC, Motorola said it only cost $4 more to assemble the Moto X in Texas.

They said the reason why they're shutting down that factory is because the X just didn't sell enough in the US.

Perhaps Apple should stop relying on secrecy so much as part of their sales plan.

They use secrecy to try to keep sales up during the long period between new models. (I.e. to avoid the Osborne effect.)

They also seem to think they need secrecy to get more press and public interest during a new model debut.

Yet, I don't remember the massive iPhone 4 leak having a detrimental effect on sales. ??

and wait 1 year till you got your iPhone 6 LOL

I bet you are not a Mac Pro fan

30 years ago, I left the Apple arena and now I'm back.
I have only 3 MS devices left in my home, which are rarely used anymore.
I have the MacBook Pro 17, the MacBook Air 11.6, and the iMAC 27

So, Yes, I am a Mac Pro fan. I personally need a larger display for my mobile devices, since I have customers that need to sign their name for packages that I deliver to them. Until then, I use the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and await the anticipated release/arrival of the iPhone 6, which hopefully has the rumored larger display even if I have to wait one-year.

Amen, Brother. "You get what you pay for"

Sure.... the price tag shocked us all 😉

How can you call yourself a Mac Pro fan while you had no experience with it...
