#6 Apple really ramped up security at their manufacturing site in the south China city of Longhua

“The massive manufacturing complex in the South China city of Longhua resembles an industrial fortress. To enter the facility, workers swipe security cards at the gate. Guards check the occupants of each vehicle with fingerprint recognition scanners,” in 2010, Reuters reported on Apple’s manufacturing unit Foxconn, in china. 

"They use metal detectors and search us. If you have any metal objects on you when you leave, they just call the police," one employee told Reuters. The Reuters reporter was allegedly attacked by two guards while attempting to check out a nearby Foxconn plant that was also making parts for Apple.

But industry sources in China and elsewhere in Southeast Asia say that Apple goes to what one person in the business termed "extreme lengths" to protect even the smallest details of its new products under development.
