Apple makes an exception and allows employees to take unreleased prototypes home. The new iPhone is made entirely by remote control

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Apple made an exception to its strict confidentiality policy, allowing hardware engineers to take home prototypes of unreleased new phones.

Previously, due to the worsening epidemic in the United States and California, Apple entered the work-from-home stage. However, because Apple has always implemented a strict confidentiality culture, working from home is very difficult and it is impossible to access important internal company systems and resources. Apple can only adjust and adapt.

In addition, with regard to the production and assembly of new mobile phones, since Apple’s engineering team is currently unable to travel to China, they can only guide their Chinese colleagues on the assembly of new mobile phone prototypes through video.
