Popular Mechanics har postat en artikel om bekännelser från en anställd hos Apple, texten går under namnet ”Confessions of an Apple Store Employee” och ger en bild av hur det är att jobba för Apple.

We are completely in the dark until they do a keynote speech. We have no idea what is coming and are not allowed to openly speculate.

That it’s going to be like a $700 paperweight, and that the antenna will fry itself on T-Mobile. Of course, that’s not true, but that’s what we tell them. And if they have an unlocked iPhone, we won’t touch it at the Genius Bar.
