El Reg reports:
Apple has gone full swivel-eyed, control-freak crazy on its own employees with a demented internal memo decrying information leaks.
"In 2017, Apple caught 29 leakers. 12 of those were arrested", says the terror missive from Cupertino, ironically leaked to Bloomberg. "Among those were Apple employees, contractors and some partners in Apple's supply chain."
It then threatens long-lasting harm to anyone stupid enough to let anyone know anything about its products before, you know, it launches them and tries to sell as many as humanely possible.
"These people not only lose their jobs, they can face extreme difficulty finding employment elsewhere", the letter rants.
[...] "Leakers do not simply lose their jobs at Apple. In some cases, they face jail time and massive fines for network intrusion and theft of trade secrets both classified as federal crimes."
What a lovely company.
Unless you're the FCC.

Let me tell you, boycotts work. Apple wouldn't turn over the San Bernardino cyber. Because of "privacy." So I boycotted Apple. Then our FBI went to Israel, they went to a company called Cellebrite. And Cellebrite hacked that cyber (very smart guys). Then Tim Cook comes to me, he asks, "Mr. President, are you still doing the boycott?" And I said it's too late to turn over the cyber, that ship has sailed. But if people see me with an iPhone I'll look very foolish. So he says, "we'll make you a gold one." And I said, let's shake on that, we have a deal. And the Gold iPhone happened -- this isn't one of those crazy Internet photos where it turns out to be blue with black trim. But they can't give it to me, because of the Domestic Emoluments Clause. Thinking of selling my Kinder Morgan stock to pay for it!!!

Methinks James Comey and friends were feeding you some bullshit about, among other things, not being able to ask Apple for the data.
