It has happened many times in the past that one of the engineers Appsomewhere forgot the iPhone prototype, which was still in the development phase. It usually triggered a wave of sensation, as very interesting information about the upcoming model came to light. However, the leak is not always the fault of the prototype owner. It has happened many times that pictures of functional prototypes have leaked, for example from the airport, or from transfers between individual development centers. Such leaks should now beonec, because Apple started using special packaging in which new prototypes are transported. You can check them out in the gallery!

These covers perfectly protect the body of the phone and visually enlarge it. On the front side, only the display is visible, on the back there is an opening for the camera and the flash. The world famous blogger and author of several interesting leaks, Sonny Dickson, came up with their pictures. He published them through the portal MacRumors.
These new packaging is supposed to be one of the many new protection factors with which Apple came as a reaction against more and more emerging information leaks. The cover itself doesn't say much about the appearance of the phone inside. It is covered with security tape on the sides, which will reveal any tampering very quickly. Along with the prototype in the packaging, there is also a kind of accompanying sheet on which many items are checked, depending on the individual stations where the prototype was located (for example, quality control, various hardware tests, etc.)
It is this inspection process that ensures that only the best performing samples make it from China to California. If the prototype passes all the tests, it is clearly marked in the guide and the phone can travel further into the world. In addition, each prototype is equipped with a QR code that is loaded at each destination. Apple so he has a clear overview of where which prototype is currently located. It should also help with information leaks in the future new development center, which Apple is building right next to the factory where iPhones are made.
