The interesting story of how Apple identified one of the biggest sources of its leaks

One of the most constant leakers on Apple could not preserve his identity!

Apple continues to fight to reduce leaks from its launches

The element of surprise that has always characterized Apple’s keynotes has been elusive in recent years, when the leakers have not given up on those of the bitten apple. However, Apple quickly intervened on the subject and managed to control the situation, in part. However, the efforts have continued and on the part of the company, the strategies are working better and better.

One of the latest sources to share consistent information, coinciding with the industry’s most trusted insiders, was Analyst941 on Twitter, the last reference of which referred to the upcoming iOS 17 and watchOS 10 updates, as well as the planned release of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for the iPad. But he was not so shrewd in preserving his identity.

The beginning of the end

A few days ago, Analyst941 shared a timeline of possible versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad. It seems this message was enough for Apple to know who it wasas later confirmed from the same Twitter account.

In a “last message” shared before the deletion of your account on the social network, confirmed that his sister, who was his source, was fired from Apple after the leaks about her. Now the two now fear that Apple will take legal action against them:

I don’t want to share too many details right now due to the legalities of things, but a multi-step sting got my sister fired from Apple, and sadly I’m afraid legal action is next for the two of us separately.

The breaking point was multiple, if not nearly everyone familiar with FCP/Logic iPad development received a unique combination of release dates; Unfortunately, the combination I shared on Twitter matched the combination I gave my sister as FCP + Logic, plus other small factors.

So far, only the part of the story told by Analyst941 is known, while Apple is keeping the veracity of this information secret, including the alleged employee’s firing. So we just have to wait for the announcements from WWDC 2023 to confirm how well informed this leaker was.
