Although the US government accuses Chinese technology companies of spying and working for the Chinese government,
However, now a former employee of the famous US company Apple has claimed that Apple had developed a secret iPod for the US government.
The iPod is a Wi-Fi connected digital music player, initially released by Apple in 2001 after the iTunes Music Player.
So far the Apple company has released 7 versions of the iPod and now the iPod is more modern than the past and is presented with a touch screen and it is considered as one of the best products of the company.
David Shire, one of the first few software engineers hired by the company to build the iPod, has claimed that Apple built a secret iPod for the US government 15 years ago.
David Shire wrote a detailed blog on the platform that publishes content from former and current Apple employees, explaining the secret iPods they made for the US government.
According to a former employee of Apple, the company made a spying iPod for the US government in 2005.
According to David Shire, in 2005 he was instructed by top company officials to work with two engineers sent by the US Department of Energy.
According to the former Apple engineer, the US government engineers working with him wanted the company to develop an iPod for them, in which additional hardware could be installed to perform secret tasks.
He claimed that to keep the said plan secret only verbal talks were done and no written proof of the plan was kept.
At the same time, he explained that he did not know exactly what the US government wanted to create the secret iPod for, but he guessed that they wanted to create the iPod to detect nuclear material. .
In this regard, the American broadcaster CNN wrote in its report that according to a former employee of Apple, he believes that the US government wanted to find stolen nuclear materials through the iPod.
He explained that the iPod music player was equipped with hardware features that could detect the surrounding nuclear material.
He claimed that the secret iPod developed had such features that no one could suspect that someone was spying through it.
He explained that the listener could spy on the iPod while listening to the song.
According to the former employee of Apple, only two engineers of the US department and a senior official of the company knew about the said project.
Although the Apple employee claimed that the company made secret iPods for the US government, he did not say how many iPod sets the company made for the US government.
After the above disclosure by a former employee of Apple, there has been an uproar across the US, and initially the head of the company’s iPod department has declared these allegations to be fabricated.
However, Apple and the US government clearly did not agree on this.
