There was a big scandal some years back because an Apple employee left a prototype phone at the bar/restaurant next to the campus, so they definitely do it. I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t crack down harder after that incident, but to be fair to this guy, he didn’t take it out and about and just took it home. I can’t say I’d be overly worried about something happening to it if it was just at my house, but I also don’t have people crashing with me frequently…

    That incident was 15 years ago It's entirely possible that they did tighten things up, but relaxed those changes after several years. Probably not relaxed now, though...

    Remember that one, but honestly: not worth much testing a device exclusively in laboratory settings and not in real life situations.

    It is a risk but I think not one you can and should avoid. At least if you want your mobile device to perform.
