Core Viewpoint - The iOS 26 leak case has taken a dramatic turn, suggesting that it may be more about the defendants shifting blame rather than a high-tech corporate espionage case [1] Group 1: Case Background - The case dates back to July when Apple sued Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti for allegedly conspiring to steal and leak confidential information about the unreleased iOS 26 "Liquid Glass" visual update [1] - Ramacciotti allegedly accessed an internal development iPhone through a friend who is an Apple employee and provided the obtained trade secrets to Prosser, who promised compensation [1] Group 2: Defendants' Responses - Prosser missed the deadline to respond to the court, resulting in a default judgment against him at Apple's request [2] - In contrast, Ramacciotti submitted a written response after two extensions, disputing Apple's allegations [2] Group 3: Key Dispute - A central point of contention is a payment of $650 (approximately 4,617 RMB), which Ramacciotti acknowledged receiving but denied any conspiracy [2] - Ramacciotti claimed there was no prior agreement to steal information or receive payment, stating that the $650 was offered by Prosser after the fact [2] Group 4: Legal Implications - If the court accepts Ramacciotti's argument that the payment occurred after the leak and was not prearranged, Apple's accusations of "collusion" could be significantly weakened [3] - The nature of the incident could shift from "intentional theft" to "negligent disclosure" without evidence of an agreement [3]

如果说平时 iPhone 的外观设计泄露是"小打小闹"，那么这一次的泄露堪称"核爆级"：近日，美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）疑似"手滑"，把 iPhone 16e 的设 计原理图直接对外公开了。 这份文件长达 163 页，详细程度几乎足以让硬件工程师一眼看懂苹果的内部设计逻辑。而讽刺的是，就在同一份资料包中，还包含了一封苹果提交给 FCC 的正式函件，字里行间一再强调："请务必无限期保密。" 一份 163 页的设计原理图，意外出现在 FCC 数据库 最初，是监管文件追踪网站 FCCID.IO 发现 FCC 数据库中出现了一份异常文档。经确认，这是一份 163 页的 PDF 文件，展示了 iPhone 16e（型号 A3212、A3408、A3409、A3410） 的完整电路原理图。 从内容来看，这份文档几乎囊括了所有核心设计资料： 对于普通消费者来说，这类文件基本没有实际意义。但对于硬件研发人员，尤其是苹果竞争对手的工程师来说，这无疑是一份"宝藏"——它能省去大量逆 向工程和拆解分析的工作，直接揭示苹果的内部设计思路。 这不，在 X 平台上不少网友已经开始剖析这份文件中 iPhone 16e 的各种设计亮点： ...
