Apple suggests that the blame for poorly-fitting third-party iPhone cases should be put on those leaking info about unreleased models
In approximately six weeks, Apple could unveil its next line of iPhone models
The tech giant calls the seller’s posts an “illegal disclosure of Apple’s trade secrets.” And the company has taken legal action before against accessory providers. In 2016, it sued Mobile Star LLC for manufacturing counterfeit adapters, cables, and other products. The lawsuit “revealed that Mobile Star’s supply chain includes entities that are known counterfeiters and infringers of Apple’s intellectual property and source large quantities of Apple-branded products directly from entities based in China.”
Apple CEO Tim Cook is known to despise leakers
Many of these leakers are what we call “Twitter tipsters” who use the social media app to get the word out about the information that they have somehow acquired. Many of these individuals are looking to make a career from these tweets and indeed, some have gone on to build huge followings by releasing accurate information before a company like Apple officially unveils it.
