This article is probably bullshit. I mean, it might be true that Apple is requiring some employees to wear a body camera in some circumstances, but none of the evidence cited even indicates that this is directly in response to leaks.
It doesn’t even make much sense. Unless they’re hoping to catch body camera evidence of an employee using a phone to snap a picture of a prototype, what sort of leak would this possibly prevent? And really, would it be that hard to “accidentally” obscure the body camera for the 5 seconds it takes to snap such a photo anyway?
It certainly won’t stop you from calling, texting, or meeting a journalist in your free time to leak whatever information you want.
There’s probably much less to the story than this sensationalist headline suggests.
- eldelshell 5y agoIt's stupid. Let's stop leaks by creating another, centralized leak source... Leaks now in 4K!

- ballenf 5y agoI thought it was pretty well established that the Santa Clara story was one of a rogue sheriff shaking down Apple for some free iPads. In return apple would get their security staff approvals greenlit.

- babypuncher 5y agoI've never heard of this website before, but perusing some of their other articles does not inspire much confidence in the quality of their journalism.
