Subject: Request for Confidentiality
FCC ID:    BCG—B35

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. Apple Inc. requests that
the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing indefinitely:

          Schematic Diagram
          Block Diagram
          Theory of Operation
          Antenna Specification


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.

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
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.
