Apple Confesses Its Top 7 Secrets
2. Project Purple:
What Is It Related To: Making of iPhone
Who Revealed It: Apple’s Senior Vice-President of iOs Software
During the proceedings, it has been revealed that iPhone was being manufactured under the name of Project Purple and was treated as a top secret. Forstall was not allowed to hire anyone in the Project Purple from outside of the company and the ones assigned to the project were made to follow the moral rule: “You don’t talk about Project Purple.”
The project was treated so secretively that the people working on the project were not even told what they were making and all they were told was that they will be required to give up on their weekends working nights for a couple of years. These people were allotted one entire floor that was secured with cameras and badge readers and the team members were required to pass through 5 or 6 security-locked doors.
