In spite of Apples efforts to keep anybody from discovering what its dealing with, leaks have actually continued to offer the world early sneak peeks of new iPhones, Macs and more. Its campaign to plug the holes is apparently extending to hazards of legal action, as the leaker understood as “Kang” posted to Weibo today about a notice he got from the business (by means of MacRumors).
Kang currently holds the top spot on the AppleTrack leaderboard, which tries to compare the reliability of the info numerous leakers share, and AppleTrack indicates that other leakers have actually received comparable messages. Prior to the iPhone 12 launch, Kang posted about all four designs that Apple had actually prepared, exposing their costs, colors and planned release dates.

According to Kang, the letter from a law practice claimed that his actions might share details with Apples competitors, or mislead customers about devices that arent coming. It likewise consisted of screenshots of his Weibo page, revealing posts beyond the leakages, like ones where he talked about problems hes had with Apple items.
For his part, Kang declares to have actually never signed an NDA, published concealed images or benefited from his info. Still, the tracker shows his info has revealed details about everything from the iPhone SE to the HomePod mini. Content creator Ben Geskin discussed receiving a similar notification last year, while fellow leaker L0vetodream (number five on the source ranking list) said they had not gotten anything.
Apple did not react to a request for remark about the letters or the number of were sent out. As for Kang, the post suggests he wont post “riddles” or “dreams” about upcoming devices, so while the weight of the risk is uncertain, it may have had Apples desired effect.
