If you've been online in the last 72 hours, you've probably noticed what happened over the weekend. On Friday evening, the release version of iOS 11 reached the web, which hides a huge amount of information about what Apple will present to us tomorrow. Whether it's the naming of new iPhones, confirmation of some functions, Face ID visualizations, new color variants of the Apple Watch, and so on. This is a leak that is unprecedented in Apple's history. Now it turns out that it was most likely not a mistake and that makes the whole situation even more spicy. One disgruntled Apple employee was supposed to take care of the leak.

This opinion is held by prominent Apple blogger Jogn Gruber, who expressed it on his blog Daring Fireball.

I am almost convinced that this leak was not the work of some oversight or unfortunate accident. On the contrary, I think it was a targeted, deliberate and insidious attack by some disgraced Apple employee. Whoever is behind this leak is probably the least popular employee on campus right now. Thanks to this leak, more information has come to light than ever before from Apple itself.

Gruber did not disclose his source within Apple, but he is widely known to have sources within the company. According to his information, Apple has several versions of iOS 11 in the development phase, which are available to those who know their location on the web, more precisely, the specific and specific web address where these versions are stored. As it seems, this is the address that the employee had to provide both to prominent foreign websites and to influential figures on Twitter.

As far as Apple is concerned, this is an unprecedented leak. The fact that in recent years there have been leaks from factories, etc., Apple will not do much about it. However, the company managed to keep all software news under wraps. However, that changed three days ago.

It will be very interesting to watch tomorrow's keynote and wait to see if something will appear during it that was not known until now. Over the past few months, we've had a fairly clear idea of ​​what Apple has in store for us this fall. However, it was mostly the hardware side of things. Now a huge part with the inscription software has also fit into the mosaic.
