When a prototype iPhone 4 was carelessly left in a bar by an Apple employee, the company quickly scrambled to retrieve it, fearful that journalists and competitors could use it to find out what goes on during the making of a new product.

New Apple employees are given access to a suite of apps to help them communicate with one another, test devices, and deal with customers.

Thanks to hackers exploiting holes in the iPhone's software, and test devices accidentally sent to customers by carriers, we're able to sneak a peek behind Apple's secrecy and discover what the company's secret apps look like.

Apple Connect

AppleConnect is the secure employee-only service that lets Apple employees sign into other apps and services. Interestingly, internal Apple apps often make use of the Android-style swipe pattern system--where you slide your finger through a shape--as well as a normal password.

When an Apple employee finds a bug in iOS, they file it using MobileRadar, the company's internal bug-tracking system. Amusingly, the app's icon is an anteater, because, well, anteaters eat bugs.

This app is used to test the various components and sensors found in iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Several Easter eggs are hidden inside the app, which have been found after test devices were accidentally sent out to customers. For example, the icon for the serial number function is a box of Cheerios (cereal, get it?).

The Operator app also includes clips of four songs by the rock band INXS: 'Need You Tonight,' 'New Sensation,' 'The Gift' and 'What You Need.' It looks like someone at Apple is an INXS fan.
