When I started writing for BGR way back in 2013, Apple leaks were exceedingly rare. Eight years later, we often know everything there is to know about the latest iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac weeks before the official reveal. Apple hasn't had much luck protecting its trade secrets over the past several years, but according to a new report from The Information, the company is tightening up security at its factories in an attempt to stop leaks.
The Information said on Wednesday that it obtained an internal document from Apple which outlined changes being made to its factory security guidelines for every manufacturing partner. The document allegedly says that while those partners can no longer collect biometric data such as fingerprints or facial scans from Apple employees, this new rule does not extend to factory workers. As The Information notes, this appears to contradict Apple's human rights policy, which supposedly includes “business partners and people at every level of its supply chain.”
