Most of Apple’s retail stores are celebrating their 10th anniversary. For the sake of celebration, Apple threw a bash in terms of giving the stores a lavish makeover.
The iDevice giant has supplied interactive iPads to all of its seasoned stores, to use them in place of the usual paper signs next to the products.
In amidst all these celebrations, one of the Apple Store managers has divulged the fact that these normal display iPads can be switched to new iPad 2 units. merely with the help of few gestures.
The initial understanding was that these display devices can’t be used normally as the home button on them, wasn’t really functional. However, a secret combination of gestures can indeed turn these display iPads into the fully functional ones, and the new iPad 2 displays, on the other hand, can be turned into “normal iPads” with those magical secret swipes.
Almost all the store managers out there are believed to know this fact, but it’s not sure how this was leaked out.
The bottom-line is that those display devices are nothing but normal iPad 2, even though the part numbers are different and unique, and there isn’t too much of a difference between the new iPad2 and the old one.
The bigger question is whether hackers would be able to exploit this point, and if so, what could be the impact! (Apple can say a good-bye to their celebrations in that case!)
