Some how – undoubtedly using some kind of Jedi mind tricks – Sonny Dickson has managed to grab a whole host of internal Apple documents and videos. There are 3-4 in particular that came to light recently. They detail things from how iPhones are tested and scanned in to iPad 2 diagnostic software. It’s pretty neat.
