Sonny Dickson is a teenager from Melbourne. The young man, who says he's "old enough to drink," spends much of his spare time posting photos of Apple parts on his blog. Here's the juicy bit. Those Apple parts aren't on sale yet. Dickson told Fortune Magazine he gets his information from sources who "work for Apple in China." He also receives tips via email. Once he gets his hands on a leaked part, Dickson can sell it for hundreds of dollars. "I could go over to Louis Vuitton today and buy one of their bags with the money I made this month," he told Fortune. Apple is expected to unveil the latest version of the iPhone, the iPhone 5S, at a media event on September 10. Several days ago Dickson posted a photo of a gold coloured iPhone on his blog, fuelling speculation that the new model will be available in a wider variety of colours than its predecessors.

That success has attracted the attention of Apple, or so Dickson says. Apparently his website was visited by servers based in Cupertino more than 900 times last month. Apple's corporate headquarters are in Cupertino. Dickson's site was also visited by United States Homeland Security. He should probably watch his back. In 2010, 21-year-old Brian Hogan sold an iPhone 4 prototype to gadget website Gizmodo. Apple launched an aggressive investigation and Hogan was forced to pay a fine. "Some people think I may be breaking the law, but they don't really know what I do," Dickson said. I'm not breaking any laws that other people don't do.
