More than a year since the release of iPad tablet on the market is one of the application developers for the device finally shared with the press the details of his work with Apple. In an interview with Business Insider developer told what obstacles he and his three colleagues had to overcome in order to test their product has not yet been published then the plates.
It turns out that the engineers have not even seen, looked like tablet computers, and could not understand the characteristics of their form factor - two test iGadzhetov were placed in metal frames. Apple executives, concerned about the fact that before the release of iPad appearance must be kept secret, required to fulfill its terms of developers. Firstly, the application tests took place in a room without windows and with new door locks. Secondly, only four developer who works with applications and could enter the room. The Apple demanded their names and Social Security numbers - in order to know who had access to the iPad, in the event of data loss.
In addition, the staff of "apple" of the company drilled a hole in the table and literally chained to both test the tablet work surface. They also captured and texture of wood on top of the table, so that in case of information leakage or iPad photos to the Internet or the media to easily identify the source of the leak itself. The developers do not have the right to share information about the experience of using iPad to someone else: either with the members of their families, not even with their own leadership.
At the moment, work on new iGadzhetov also conducted in a secret format. Apple employees have to pass daily through the mass of protected doors, enter the secret code in the castles and use the gaps to get to their jobs. Until now, no one outside the offices in Cupertino really knows what will be the iPhone 5. According to a former Apple employee, marketing guru Regis McKenna (Regis McKenna), culture secrecy is used in the "apple" of the company ever since the release of the first Machintosh computer 1984.
Nowadays, however, Apple engineers have begun to lose too many prototypes of smartphones in the bars. So occurred in the last year before the iPhone 4 release. History repeated itself this year when a prototype fifth-generation iPhone was lost in a bar in San Francisco in early July. His searches are conducted so far.
