A former executive at Apple supplier Flextronics has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and security fraud after allegedly leaking details regarding Apple's plans for an unreleased iPhone and the then-unannounced iPad.
Shimoon was arrested last December on the basis of wiretap evidence provided by a cooperating witness. While serving as the senior director of business development at Flextronics, which manufactured chargers for the iPhone, he allegedly provided information on the unreleased iPad, codenamed K48, and an upcoming iPhone, as well as "highly confidential" data regarding Apple's sales forecasts.
