Apple's law firm in China Fangda Partners sent a letter, on June 18, 2021, and told one person to stop acquiring, advertising, and selling leaked Apple devices and requested a list of anyone who provided them with the leaked devices.

 In other words, Apple wants the reseller to say who gave them the devices. Finally, the company requested the seller sign a document promising to comply with the request within 14 days of receiving the letter.

 "You have disclosed without authorisation a large amount of information related to Apple's unreleased and rumoured products, which has constituted a deliberate infringement of Apple's trade secrets", the letter read.
