Mantan Karyawan Apple Ini Beberkan Proyek Rahasia iPhone Generasi Awal

Mengorek informasi mengenai proyek rahasia iPhone tidaklah mudah. Namun kamu tidak perlu menyelinap masuk secara ilegal ke markas besar Apple untuk mengetahuinya, pasalnya ada seorang mantan karyawan Apple yang tidak sungkan membeberkannya.

Pernah menjabat sebagai senior software engineer yang mengerjakan 6 persen kernel Mac OS X, Terry Lambert di Quora membeberkan informasi menarik mengenai seperti apa proyek iPhone generasi awal yang pernah dikerjakannya.

Seperti dikutip BGR, Lambert mengatakan bahwa Apple menggunakan kain serba hitam di lab proyek rahasianya, termasuk proyek iPhone yang disebut dengan nama Project Purple.

So I got taken into areas where there were black cloths everywhere. If you ever work at Apple, black cloths are how they cover secret projects; you pretend not to see them; it’s a kind of willful ignorance. I only got to see the machine doing the remote debugging, not the target — but it was obviously an ARM based system. If you want a clever halloween costume for Apple, buy a black sheet, cut eye holes, and go as a “secret project”.

When you finally got read in, you signed an NDA that let you see the NDA that had the code name on it. You couldn’t see the code name, until you agreed not to discuss the code name.

Another thing that Apple does is they give different code names to different groups; in other words you may be working on the same project as someone else, and not actually know it. Or be allowed to discuss it.
