Talking about them is fine. As usual, no posting copyrighted material or links to places that may host these apps. Also, if the knowledge of these apps was acquired illegally(like by robbing an Apple store), don't post it. From what I understand the apps are left on phones by accident, in which case they are fair game. --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 20:45, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I think its somehow a grey area. While posting (links to) copyrighted material is clearly an issue, posting information about it is somehow discussable. Example the Gizmodo iPhone4 Prototype got to Gizmodo to some unclear incidents. Some may say it was stolen..... so would talk about information got from Gizmodo then forbidden here ? Do we know how the US T-Mobile 3G iPhone4 Proto got to BGR ? Or are we sure about the whereabouts of the things we get from the Vietnamese Website ? I would think talking is OK when there is not clearly breach of copyright is involved. A (blurry) photo of an app Icon should be OK. If you would know more information then it should be Ok'ed to as long as no copyrighted material is posted.

I have written some of the AppleInternal stuff articles like, year ago, but now I have doubts if this should be on the iPhone Wiki. Feels too risky. --rustymercury 15:49, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, well I do not know. All I can say I do not leak internal information (should be on wikileaks then :-P ) but just adding the information scattered on the internet.--M2m 15:53, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Maybe let sysops decide, then. --rustymercury 15:56, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
