Columbia MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality Ref: FCC ID numbers To whom it may concern: Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s rules (47 CFR §§ 0.457, 0.459), Apple Inc. hereby requests confidential treatment for documents filed with the Commission in connection with the application for equipment authorization referenced above. Model(s) FCC ID A3081 BCG-E8688A A3286 BCG-E8689A A3287 BCG-E8690A A3288 BCG-E8691A A3082 BCG-E8692A A3289 BCG-E8693A A3290 BCG-E8694A A3291 BCG-E8695A A3083 BCG-E8666A A3292 BCG-E8667A A3293 BCG-E8668A A3294 BCG-E8683A A3084 BCG-E8684A A3295 BCG-E8685A A3296 BCG-E8686A A3297 BCG-E8687A  Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA www.apple.com Long-Term Confidentiality Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing indefinitely: • Block Diagrams. • Electrical Schematic Diagrams. • Technical Descriptions, Product Specifications. • Antenna Locations. • Tune-up Procedure. • Software Security Description. These documents reveal detailed technical and design information that is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed to the public even after commercial release of a device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair advantage even after commercial release of the device. Short-Term Confidentiality In addition to the above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commission’s policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR §2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices, Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing for one hundred eighty days after the date the grant of equipment authorization is issued: • External Photographs • Internal Photographs • Test Setup Photographs • User Manual These documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publicly disclosed in marketing materials and is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed publicly prior to the commercial release of the device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission prior to commercial release would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors  Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA www.apple.com an unfair market advantage. Apple Inc. believes the period of confidentiality requested is necessary to protect the information until the commercial release of a device. It is our understanding that measurement test reports and FCC ID label format cannot be granted as confidential documents and this information will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued.
