Built-in Operator screen in Alpine 1A420's SkankPhone app

Operator.app is a part of Apple internal diagnostic utilities suite. It shows the status of device parts, and eventually shows details about each component. It was accidentally shipped on many iPod touch retail devices, probably because they went through quality control in factory and tester forgot to restore to the retail IPSW. Operator comes with some INXS sound samples (from the album The year 1979-1997).

  • Need you tonight
  • New sensation
  • The gift
  • What you need

Newer versions of Operator come loaded with four Asian pop songs.

Operator on iPod touch

The day of the launch, numerous iPod touches shipped with Operator on it. In order to get it off them, you just did a restore. A few of these were sold on eBay.

Operator on iPhone 6 Devices

There have been a few cases in which iPhone 6's have been shipped with Operator in the SwitchBoard folder.

The app is typically located under: /AppleInternal/Applications/SwitchBoard/Operator.app
