"The candidate will be responsible for ensuring the protection of products that have not yet been marketed, as well as everything related to their intellectual property, in addition to taking charge of the risks that could endanger them. " Not a word dedicated to the iPhone 5, but the shadow of the last battle in Cupertino has a lot to do with this job offer, recently published by Apple.
The idea is to find a new head of security who can be entrusted with the zeal of the devices designed at the manufacturer's headquarters, with a view to not repeating the incidence that they have already suffered for two years (in case the The loss of the iPhone 5 that is giving so much to talk these days is not part of a careful promotional strategy by Apple).
The candidate who applies for this position will work side by side with other security managers, dedicated to other areas of the Cupertino company. The objective, of course, is none other than to shield the secrecy that Apple likes to keep so much about its products until the moment of its presentation in society. Something that at any time could be in evidence with the iPhone 5 (as long as it appears and it is confirmed that it has not been a publicity stunt by the company).
As we say, this is not the first time that Apple suffers a setback with one of its unreleased devices. Last year the case featuring the iPhone 4 and Gizmodo was sounded, where exclusive images of the prototype were published weeks before its official presentation.
One of the company engineers took him party and, perhaps cluelessness, perhaps because of the awkwardness that is implicit in ethyl enthusiasm, the manzanófono was left in a bar. One of the customers of the establishment picked it up, to later sell it to Gizmodo for a whopping 5,000 dollars (more than 3,500 euros, at current exchange rates).
The soap opera reached such a magnitude that, on the occasion of the presentation of the iPhone 4, a presentation was held in San Francisco to which those responsible for Gizmodo could not attend due to a declared veto by Apple, which did not see with good eyes that it published images of the prototype accompanied by the specifications of the device.
So much so that these days a preview will be held as a result of the complaint that the Cupertino people filed against Gizmodo. Precisely for this reason, perhaps those who have the prototype of the iPhone 5 are afraid to bring it to light.
