According to the filing, Lipnik has been fired from Apple “for failing to follow Apple’s policies designed to protect its confidential information, including development devices and unreleased software and features.” The filing also accuses Lipnik of failing to report “multiple prior breaches” to Apple.
When you sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), you’d best protect the secrets. Then again, the guy who left an iPhone 4 in a bar didn’t lose his job. Wonder what the differences are between them.

Interesting to read that they actually fired the engineer this time. The last time this was reported (more recent than the phone proto left at the bar), Apple didn’t fire the responsible engineer. I guess that person was too important to let go.

I remember when the iPhone 4 leak happened because of that phone prototype that got left behind. Everyone felt really bad for the guy, and it was widely believed that it was completely by accident.
seems incongruous to me that the NDA is that strict but the prototypes are allowed out in the wild. I guess they need real world testing somehow.

Prototypes are not allowed out in the wild anymore. There was a massive shift in policy after the iPhone 4 incident.

At least material design is readable.
Yeah, the white text on white backgrounds look pretty but is just not that easily readable.
-
I'm on the fence, it's nicer than material design (I've always hated 'material design' though) but it's so colourless.
Bring back skeuomorphism!
what specific skeuomorphic elements do you want back? it is still there in lots of places and I don't think liquid design removed any more of it. i also don't think the amount of color in design necessarily correlates with skeuomorphism.

Did Apple forget their company operates on hype?
Edit: found the Apple fanboys, I guess
did you forget that they've been operating this way since at least the beginning of iphone?
edit: when idiots get called out they get sensitive, I guess.

Looks like shit IMO
Kinda reminds me of Windows Aero, but with Grey as your main colour.

I was worried it was gonna be Marquis Brownlee being sued.

Intent. One was an accident, the other is potentially criminal if I'm not wrong. I could be.
Breaking an NDA (allegedly) is civil, not criminal

It is about managing risk, you do need real world testing for many products, and it is impossible to do that without risking the public sees it (you could camouflage it like they do with cars) , but at the same time it probably isn't suitable to take an unreleased phone into a bar where the risk of losing it is higher than say a grocery store.

Ten years later, they finally replicated my iPhone 5 jaibreak theme and widgets! Well, partially.
What was that Cydia theming app called... it was titled in leetspeak, I think?
This comment brings me way back haha. I had to look it up because I didn't remember but it was Winterboard or Dreamboard that I used on my 3rd gen iPod touch.

It was in a rounded, 3gs-like case

Oh no, not the uber rich corpo shill YouTuber

Yep, when every app has a gray color, it’s much harder to find what you’re looking for on the screen.
Google committed the same sin when they made every one of their apps have the same four color look - now I can’t easily find the one app I’m looking for.

Based on the article, the youtuber and an accomplice who knew an Apple employee accessed the employee’s phone while it was unattended, so technically it wasn’t intentional and more negligence. On the other hand, Apple also claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe this was the final straw.

The article says Apple claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe it’s the last of multiple strikes.

Winterboard, that's it!

solution is to not use any of their apps

Which red, blue, yellow, and green icon on a white background are you looking for?

Oh no, does that mean glassy look will be back the next few years? Bad legibility all over again?
