Apple has been the subject of several leaks in recent times, some involving essential trade secrets. The company has been pursuing an in-house cleaning process that has seen it secure convictions for some of its identified leak sources. A prominent leaker, Kang, stated that he received a strongly-worded warning letter from a legal firm on behalf of Apple, relating to leaked information traced to him concerning unreleased Apple products.

In a post on social media platform Weibo, Kang divulged the content of the letter from the US tech giant. Apple’s lawyers warned that leaking information about unreleased Apple products can seriously affect the company and give its competitors an unfair advantage by accessing company trade secrets. The letter also stated that customers are misled through such leaks, as what may be disclosed is unlikely to be accurate.

Kang has had a few leaks posted via his handle concerning Apple products. Some of the leaks were even couched in riddles, but it would seem that Apple’s tracing mechanism had identified him. Kang indeed has a long record of Apple leaks, including the iPhone 12 full lineup, MagSafe for iPhone, and several others. It has to be stated that most of the leaks were authentic, as subsequent events showed.

To reduce the incidence of embarrassing leaks, Apple had put in place some stringent in-house measures that were aimed at identifying and weeding out employees who divulge important info and data to unauthorized third parties. The legal direction is to add further bite to Apple’s pursuit of individuals who continue to expose it to its competitors and sometimes provide misleading information to the public.

The internal security measures in place seem to be holding firm concerning iOS 15 – at least for now, as no leak has come through concerning Apple’s in-development operating system.
