CUPERTINO, iNews.id – Device specifications Apple often leaked on the internet before launch. In fact, not infrequently the leak hits iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices are so accurate.
To avoid leaking this information, Apple tried a new formula that was applied at its assembly plant. A report reveals that Apple recently instructed its manufacturing partners, such as Foxconn and Wistron, to begin conducting criminal background checks on all assembly line employees.
Launching the Phone Arena page, Thursday (25/3/2021), those with criminal records are prohibited from accessing the development and assembly areas of unreleased Apple products, such as the iPhone 13 5G.
At the same time, all employees are required to provide a government-issued ID prior to entering the facility. Carers should also keep detailed records of the movements of employees who have sensitive products and / or components.
Talking about movement, Apple will also determine how long each part must remain in a certain production area. And if the transit of sensitive items between stations takes a very long time, the security alarm will automatically fire.
This way of working was made possible with an upgrade to the Apple computer system, which is said to consist of proprietary software running on the Mac mini.
If all that weren’t enough, Apple also has new rules for security cameras. To ensure no breaches, Apple now requires CCTV to capture all four sides to eliminate blind spots.
In addition, while it is standard practice that the process of destroying prototypes and defective components is recorded, these records must now be kept for a minimum of 180 days.
At the same time, Apple is also pushing for more privacy for its own employees. Partners can no longer collect biometric data such as facial scans or fingerprints from Apple employees. However, this rule does not apply to factory workers employed by their partners.
