CUPERTINO – Prior to launch, there were frequent leaks of Apple device specifications circulating on the internet. Even the leak hit iPhone, iPad and others are quite accurate.
To avoid this, Apple try new formulas that are applied at the assembly plant.
A report revealed that Apple recently instructed its manufacturing partners, such as Foxconn and Wistron, to begin conducting criminal background checks on all assembly line employees.

Carers should also keep detailed records of the movements of employees who have sensitive products and / or components.
Speaking of movement, Apple will also determine how long each part must remain in a particular production area.
And if the transit of sensitive items between stations takes a very long time, the security alarm will turn on automatically.
This way of working was made possible with an upgrade to the Apple computer system, which is said to consist of proprietary software running on the Mac mini.
If all that weren’t enough, Apple also has new rules for security cameras.
To ensure no breaches, Apple now requires CCTV to capture all four sides to eliminate blind spots.
In addition, while it is standard practice that the process of destroying prototypes and defective components is recorded, these records must now be kept for a minimum of 180 days.
At the same time, Apple is also pushing for more privacy for its own employees. Partners can no longer collect biometric data such as facial scans or fingerprints from Apple employees. However, this rule does not apply to factory workers employed by their partners.
