I'm surprised at this point apple still lets prototype hardware offsite with apparently no telemetry/location tracking/logging. Seems like they have a storied history of stuff like this. I looked up the old prototype iPhone 4 left at the bar story and apparently that isn't the only time that has happened with their prototypes, happened with other prototype iPhones as well. Not like you'd be testing prototype hardware at a bar or Mexican restaurant I don't think... Ironically this case in particular would have been solved if the employee actually ate their own dogfood and used faceid.

> I'm surprised at this point apple still lets prototype hardware offsite with apparently no telemetry/location tracking/logging. They definitely do have piles of telemetry. The allegations state the phone was at the employees house/apt when this happened. Where else would it be allowed offsite if not that? Also, Jon’s videos discussed extensively that there was tons and tons of watermarking/metadata/whatever all over the phone. Hence why they “recreated” it to show in the videos.

  >Where else would it be allowed offsite if not that? Indeed, which makes it perplexing when Apple engineers leave their prototype hardware seemingly all over town after a night out.
