然而，迪克森在今年夏天大红大紫，他率先披露了所谓的苹果四款未发布产品的零部件：iPhone 5C、iPhone 5S、iPad Mini 2以及iPad 5。

    迪克森一直没有引起苹果的注意，直到今年年初。当时，谷歌（Google）关闭了一个YouTube频道，之前他在上面发布了一些苹果培训视频。迪克森现在表示，自己受到了不间断的监视。据他称，位于库比蒂诺的计算机上个月访问他网站的次数超过了900次，美国国土安全部（U.S. Homeland Security）则访问了67次。

    近来，迪克森正在研发一套系统，以让自己跟零部件买卖保持距离，系统可以安排买家直接从他的中国消息来源那里拿货。不过，如果苹果选择起诉，这种做法可能也保不住他。

    “一些人认为我可能触犯了法律，但他们并不真的了解我的所作所为，”他说。“我没有违反其他人不去触犯的任何法律。”（财富中文网）

    But he hit it big this summer with the first leaked photos of what he says are parts for four unannounced Apple products: the iPhone 5C, the iPhone 5S, the iPad Mini 2 and the iPad 5.

    He flew under Apple's radar until early this year, when Google took down a YouTube site on which he had posted some Apple training videos. Now he says he's under constant surveillance. According to Dickson, computers based in Cupertino visited his website more than 900 times last month. U.S. Homeland Security stopped by 67 times.

    Lately he's worked out a system to keep the trade at arms length, arranging for buyers to get parts directly from his Chinese sources. But that may not protect him should Apple chose to prosecute.

    "Some people think I may be breaking the law, but they don't really know what I do," he says. "I'm not breaking any laws that other people don't do."
