Supplier Sues Over Leaked iPad 3 Component Images

Taiwanese blog Apple.pro are reportedly being sued by one of Apple’s suppliers over images leaked last year of purported iPad 3 internal components including a dock connector and ribbon cable.

While Apple is well-known for their committment to product secrecy, Apple’s far-east supply chain have developed a reputation for regular leaks.

Small leaks of this nature would appear to be almost inevitable given the size and geographical spread of the supply chain, but the supplier involved has taken the case seriously.

However, iPad 3 parts continue to surface with one Chinese website selling alleged iPad 3 components online.
