Newbie Apple engineers tasked with working on fake products

To bad anyone can go to a bar and find the newest apple products anyway

Apple, everything they do and sell is first and foremost a triumph in marketing. Gains in technology is secondary.

I love how all the Apple loving shills out there rush in defense such paranoid behavior. To me, it is definitely a commentary on the current state of society that corporations become so big they tend to behave like the CIA.

Safari sucks anyway. Only technological novices are taken by Apple's window dressing.

I interviewed at Apple once. Never met so many pompous a holes in one afternoon. They told me they would have to interview me several times and the whole process would take weeks/months. Didn't go back for the second interview since I didn't need to waste anymore time with these clowns.

If you want to find the newest Apple product, just go down to the local bar and you'll find it.

If any other company tried to pull this #$%$ people would be up in arms and screaming boycott.Remember this the next time some idiot protesters want to boycott a company for it's business practices

Fake story for fake products. Cool.

That's no big deal. We work on fake products all the time.
They're mostly the ones that didn't work.
But every once in a while... One of those fake products does work.
They still wind up in the trash, though.
Because the people who were assigned to make then weren't supposed to succeed.

trust me, it wasn't always the case. now they can afford to because of hundreds of millions of credit cards they have in storage for their milking. as long as the apple fanboys don't mind handing out money, apple can afford to.

One of the fake products include the iPhone 5, the phone that never came out.

SOPA

I can buy lots of real fake products in Tokyo

When I was at Apple, anyone working on a fake product was either reassigned or fired.

Paranoid, would you say?

My friend went to work in the secret room and since then has turned into a walking zombie.
His mom is woried.

And yet these idiots keep drinking and leaving phones in bars....

Let me see if I got this right. They make Americans wait for 9 months to "gain the trust of apple" before allowing them to work there, then have them work on fake products so they can earn more trust, only to then send these final designs to Manufacturers in CHINA, where they are stolen & turned into Fake Apple Knock-Off Products..... Why does Apple even bother with security... Oh that rights, it's run by morons.

so could somebody actually come up with an example of such a fake product so that this article had some interesting parts to it?

I am working on the hover-board project. It is like an iPad, but in the shape of a skateboard. Along with usual iPad functionality, it has four repulsion coils to perm it it to levitate over ground using diamagnetism. So far the battery life is biggest obstacle but the concept is promising.
