About 15 minutes after any notable product goes on sale every serious competitor has bought one and started disassembling. Sometimes it’s quiet, like when auto maker buys a vehicle and breaks it down to the last bolt in a test facility. Sometimes it’s public, like how iFixit publishes a complete teardown of every new Apple product calling out every discoverable fact and spec about the components in the device. But either way, it happens every time.
That has nothing to do with revealing proprietary info such as solid state battery chemistry.
Keyword discoverable
In the case of say an Apple M5 motherboard …whatever do you think you can discover about it? The hardware and software is tightly bound and VERY proprietary. Apple goes after anyone leaking a hardware product prelaunch very hard. They will reveal only what they want us to know.
Allegations of Theft: Apple alleges that Prosser and an associate plotted to gain unauthorized access to a development iPhone in the possession of an Apple employee, Ethan Lipnik.
Method of Leak: The lawsuit claims that Prosser’s associate tracked the employee’s schedule, stole the device, and initiated a FaceTime call to allow Prosser to see and record the device’s contents.
Trade Secrets: The phone allegedly contained significant trade secrets, including unreleased software, which were subsequently leaked and turned into re-created renders for Prosser’s videos.
Employee Termination: Apple terminated the employee involved for failing to report the security breach.
Order a Verge and have at it.

This really really reads like an unattributed AI output. The SDMB requires that you attribute any text you didn’t write. For AI,a good standard is to say what AI you asked (they have different strengths, weaknesses, and biases, so it matters) and saying what the prompt was.
Please reply to this moderation with that information, unless you actually wrote this yourself, in which case, FSM help you.
