The leaker that was identified this time was active under the username Analyst941. Analyst941 was first recognized in 2022 when he shared information about the iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island with tech media MacRumors. The information brought by Analyst941 had not been made public until then, and no one expected the Dynamic Island concept of ``filling the blank between the punch hole and the notch with software'' revealed at this time, so this The information received a lot of attention. As a result, we know that the leaked information was mostly true.



Analyst941 continued to provide information on iOS 17 and WatchOS 10. In May 2023, Apple leaked information that the iPad version of Apple's macOS software '

Final Cut Pro ' will be released in 2024 and the iPad version of ' Logic Pro ' will be released in 2025.

However, just days after the leak, Apple officially announced the iPad versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro via a press release. The release date for this software was announced as May 23, 2023, which was earlier than Analyst941 was talking about, raising doubts about Analyst941's credibility.

And this time, it turned out that the information ``2024 and 2025'' that Analyst941 knew was fake information that was leaked by Apple's undercover investigation.



According to

a message sent by Analyst941 himself to the MacRumors forum, Analyst941's younger sister (or older sister) who worked for Apple was dismissed due to a 'multi-stage sting operation'. Apparently, Analyst941 got the information from his family.

It seems that the leak was revealed because Apple gave different release dates to multiple people who knew about the development of Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro. Analyst941 said that the date Analyst941 leaked matched the date he was told to his sister, and other factors combined to pinpoint the source of the leak.

Analyst941 said, ``My sister was fired from Apple, and unfortunately, next time we'll have separate legal action.I can't believe I did this.My sister and the whole Apple. sorry i don't know what to say more i know my sister is broken she hates me for who i am now i had a lot of fun i had a lot of fun source Please keep the details to a minimum for whoever gets the.It may cost you.Bye.Thank you for taking the time to meet me.Learn from me and help you and your loved ones Please don't let the same thing happen to other people.'



Technology media 9to5mac analyzes that there were several factors that led to the identification beyond what Analyst941 talked about. First, Analyst941 himself said, ``The source of the information is a brother who works on Apple's software team and works directly with Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi.'' It is said that it is considered.

Also, Analyst 941 clearly leaked a lot of information leading to software development, and it is also a point to consider that there were almost no detailed leaks about hardware. From this, it is thought that the person who got the information is likely to be a person familiar with software. 9to5mac said, ``Software leaks are easy for Apple to track and monitor.If Analyst941's story is true, it's the latest example of Apple's skillful ability.''
