I am wondering why they didn't take much care with the iPhone4 as they took with the IPAD. we can see iPhone4 clearly in that picture
Ipad was a new product. I think it came right before the 4th generation iPhone shipped and it never occurred to any of the Asian clone makers to make a tablet. Even though all the parts were available
According to a report from 2009, Apple's culture of secrecy dates back to around the release of the original Macintoch in 1984. "It really started around trying to keep the surprise aspect to product launches, which can have a lot of power," said former Apple marketing guru Regis McKenna.
I am afraid that with the latest update of iPhone, that occurs traditionally every year in June, Apple crossed the line. It is one thing to hide the prototypes, but they should show the device if it is already on the market for about three months.

Uh, no. They shouldn't. Or maybe you think Osborne didn't go out of business for doing that.
The iPhone 5 has been on the market for 3 months? Really?!
Yeah. They introduce new device every year in June. Why this year should by any different ? Only they finally got the security right and managed to have no leaks. Steve must be proud.
You can see the iPhone 4 without concealing in case at the right top corner of that photo. i wonder why Tech sites didn't recognize it as a next generation phone then.

Because it isn't one? Because whatever that is, it ISN'T without concealing in a case. Otherwise they would have been all over it, you're right.
I don't remember the wood-grain stuff because we had software, not hardware, but Apple's security rules were much this way twenty years ago.
The main thing that has changed is that lots of media folks are vying for the latest scoop. Twenty years ago few of them were interested. Now they're all in the "dangle carrot" business, unfortunately.
If the fools who lost the iPhone weren't drunk, then that makes it even worse.
At least people aren't claiming the leaving of the prototype is all just an elaborate ruse my Apple for some unbelievably foolish and circuitous attempt to generate free press.
I have a feeling that if Apple did not bother with all this secrecy then the products would have less of a wow factor and grandiosity and, consequently, would be less desirable. As a result I believe it does help indirectly increase profits
I have a feeling if they spent even more money on making the devices and less on security the wow-factor would be just as incredible.
The developer was forbidden from telling anyone, not even his company's CEO or his wife, about the project. "You're going to get fired if this doesn't work," his wife told him.
Then who the hell authorized the project? Wouldn't his boss need to know to authorize the project and people coming into the building. How realistic is this. And obviously he told his wife.
It's silly to think that at the time Apple has device far inside its walls for only a couple eyes to see, perhaps not even as a full device but as components on a punchboard, they are also given them to developers to take out with them. Usually his posts are more well thought out so I have to assume it's just a brain fart on his part for not realizing that there could be a year or more of development time between these levels of development secrecy.
Yup ... what's in the labs is likely to be iPhone 6 ;-)

Are you saying that Apple plans to be the next Osborne ?

Nice character assassination. I'm a teetotaler, but I'm not biased enough to think that going to bars instantly makes you a drunk.
If the fools who lost the iPhone weren't drunk, then that makes it even worse.

Spot it?

Gort is *NOT* in Army of Darkness, and that line is originally from "The Day the Earth Stood Still".
No, silly. Army of Darkness came out years before that Keanu Reeves movie.
