මේ post එක කියවන්නේ නම්, ඔයාට Apple ගැන real-deep tech curiosity එකක් තියෙන්න ඕනේ. This isn’t your normal iPhone tips blog. This is for the geeks. For the hackers. For the devs. For the curious lions in the Apple jungle. 🍎
🔐 1. Apple Internal OS: The iOS Behind iOS
Apple devices run two layers of iOS:
- 🔹 The one you use (SpringBoard, apps, UI)
- 🔹 A hidden one for Apple Geniuses, testing labs & engineers
This system is called Purple Restore (PurpleRestore) – it can flash internal builds, access special developer flags, and bypass traditional iOS limitations.
💡 Used only inside Apple HQ, or Apple-authorized repair centers. Completely hidden from end-users.
🧪 2. Field Diagnostics App – The Hidden Testing Tool
There’s a secret app built into every iPhone that you can't open normally.
To access it:
- Connect your iPhone to Mac
- Launch Apple Configurator or use Apple Service Toolkit 2
- Boot into Field Diagnostic Mode
This lets engineers test:
- Battery health (real cycles)
- True internal temps
- Face ID test zones
- Display color calibration
- Bluetooth / Wi-Fi chips status
🇱🇰 මේකට access එක නෑ normal userට. ඒත් jailbreak community එක & dev tools දැක්කාම මේකක් තියෙනවා කියලා confirm කරලා තියෙනවා.
🧠 3. “Pegasus Detection Mode” – The Anti-Spy Protocol
Apple secretly released a “Lockdown Mode” in iOS 16 and improved it later. But internally, there's an even stricter monitoring system Apple uses to detect spyware (like Pegasus):
- Checks for zero-click exploits
- Isolates iMessage & WebKit
- Monitors background code execution
😳 This mode is believed to be activated only in targeted human rights cases, journalist phones, etc.
📡 4. Apple’s Internal VPN: “Relay” Network That Even You Don’t See
Yes, Apple talks about Private Relay, but insiders say there's a deeper “Apple Mesh” network used by iCloud, Siri, and diagnostic tools that never hit public servers:
- Siri queries get routed via a hidden path
- Diagnostic logs get uploaded via background-only connections
- Even when your phone is “offline,” it may queue uploads
🇱🇰 මෙයෙදි data එක analyze වෙන්නෙ අලුත් AI system එකක් (Private Cloud Compute), එහෙම වුනත් Apple retains some metadata silently.
👁️🗨️ 5. The Apple Eye: Real-Time Crash Tracking
Every iOS app crash, device failure, or weird system behavior — gets automatically logged and pushed to Apple.
Without even asking you.
Even if analytics is off, Apple still collects:
- Sysdiagnose dumps
- Low-level kernel logs
- Crash signatures (symbolicated internally)
💀 Meaning: Apple knows when your iPhone freaks out — before even you do.
💻 6. Apple GPT – The Internal AI System (Not Public Yet)
Apple recently announced Apple Intelligence for iOS 18.
But way before that, dev insiders leaked that Apple was testing:
- Ajax GPT – internal ChatGPT-style LLM
- Fine-tuned on iOS, App Store, Siri logs
- Used for app review, content moderation, and internal QA
This system is not public, but is used heavily inside Apple Park.
🇱🇰 ඔයාලා දැකලා තියෙන Siri lag එක? That’s not because Siri is dumb. It's because Apple’s routing it through multiple internal pipelines to maintain privacy, logging, and data handling.
🧨 7. iPhone Hidden Menus & Codes (for devs & repair)
These are not the *#06# type codes. These are deep menus like:
- 📲 Baseband Menu: Shows LTE Band info
- 📡 Field Test Mode: Dial
*3001#12345#* - 🧪 Diag Tools: Through USB & Mac apps only
- 🔒 Apple Internal DVT apps – only on dev prototypes
Warning: messing with these can trigger DFU mode or kill connectivity.
🧠 Final Thought – Why Apple Hides All This?
Simple:
- 🔒 To protect user privacy
- 🧪 To prevent bugs/leaks in dev builds
- 👩⚖️ To avoid legal liability for features under testing
- 🧠 To keep the experience “simple” for everyday users
🇱🇰 මෙන්න ඒකයි Deep Apple වල Deep Truth
ඔයා dev kenek, power user kenek, අලුත් AI builder kenek නම්, මේ blog එකේ තියෙන්නෙ facts — not fanboy hype.
If you're building on iOS/macOS or hacking around with M4 chips, this is the stuff Apple won't ever show you on stage.
