Apple Accuses Ex-Employee of Espionage, Linking Him to Oppo

A legal battle has erupted between Apple and a former employee, centered around the alleged theft of proprietary information. Apple claims that Chen Shi, who previously worked on sensor systems for the Apple Watch, pilfered trade secrets and shared them with Oppo. The company’s lawsuit points to Shi’s actions before his departure, including personal meetings with the Apple Watch technical team to gather information and the downloading of 63 secret documents onto a USB drive just days before his resignation. The case also raises questions about Oppo’s involvement.
