Apple suffers 'major iPhone X leak'
Found on BBC News on Monday, 11 September 2017
"As best I've been able to ascertain, these builds were available to download by anyone, but they were obscured by long, unguessable URLs [web addresses]," wrote John Gruber, a blogger known for his coverage of Apple.
One company watcher said that the scale of the leak meant Tuesday's launch had lost some of its power to surprise.
So Apple is incompetent enough to protect the core of its business with something as simple as a password? Not to mention it could have kept the software in an internal network only. It sounds like a leak, but is has the smell of being "a leak" (as in, planned).
