Key claims in source B
Security bug and Apple 'show and tell' sessions Apple said it had found a "pattern of theft" of its trade secrets by former employees who had moved to OpenAI, starting with a former engineer named as Chang Liu.
Tan, it said, had been entrusted with some of Apple's "most sensitive projects" in his 24 years at the company, where he was the vice president of product design for the iPhone and Apple Watch.
It said Liu later discovered an "authentication bug" that allowed him to access Apple's internal systems.
Liu, who worked as a senior system electrical engineer at Apple, left the firm in January 2026 to join OpenAI and failed to return a company laptop or schedule an exit interview.
