Apple’s product launches are always sleek, impeccably timed affairs shrouded in secrecy right up until the highly anticipated big reveal.

The culprit? Apple itself.

A video showing the new model’s new design and water resistance was accidentally tweeted - then swiftly removed - before Apple CEO Tim Cook had revealed it on stage at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
