The trash can Mac Pro was not leaked in advance (and by leaked I don't mean speculation that Apple was updating the Mac Pro, but actual pictures of it). Also I believe photos of the Watch didn't emerge ahead of time. Know why? The Mac Pro was built in the US, same for Watch prototypes.
- jclardy 10y agoPeople complain about leaks, but in reality the only things that leak from apple are products that are shipping immediately after announcement. New MacBook Pro, one model shipped day of. iPhone 7 - two weeks later (And pretty much every iPhone before it.) Apple Watch was announced months in advance of its actual release. Same with the original iPhone (And iPad as well IIRC.) It is pretty much impossible to control leaks when you are manufacturing at that scale, there are just too many low wage workers in the chain that have no stake in the product. The Mac Pro also had the advantage of being a really small run in comparison to the iPhone.
- Cthulhu_ 10y agoBoth of those are also not as mass-produced as the iPhone though; I mean they churn (churned?) out a million of those a day. That means there's thousands of people that get to see parts of it before the announcements, spread across multiple factories, and with people having financial incentives to smuggle pictures or even parts out of the factory and sell them to the media outlets.
- Twirrim 10y agoThe Watch was. Quite a bit. There were even photos of it on the wrists of various people before it was announced. It was another example of those not-a-secret secrets
