reporter into their labs to show the world how rigorously their phones are tested before a design is approved. And as the image above shows, Windows XP is very much a part of these quality control procedures.
To be honest, it is probably the pressure testing machine that requires a specific set of drivers and instructions, and it comes as no surprise that these require the recently retired version of Windows to run. Windows XP is still heavily used in the industrial and educational sectors.
Besides, as mentioned above, most manufacturing equipment is rarely connected to the Internet, which is a large part of where the threats for Windows XP come from.

Hmmm… Wonder why they don’t insist using Mac computers in their own lab.
Because most industrial machinery is designed to work on windows computers. Why should apple pay more to have the same machienery designed to work on their computers. There are plenty of windows machines on the apple campus, I’m sure much of the machienery Johnny I’ve uses in his design lab are run windows computers.
Wonder because Steve Job insisted Apple products are superior than MS products. How can he withstand uses XP to design and test his sort of perfect iPhone? And what would those diehard iSheeps think if they personally insist using Apple’s only but …? Got betrayed by Apple?
Seriously? You believe that crap? If that would be true then why would Apple have released iTunes on Windows to allow Windows users to use iTunes with their iPod and iPhones? Why would they have released Safari on Windows, and now iCloud Drive? Perhaps Jobs did truly believe that OS X was better than Windows, however he would not let this stand in his way to make a ton of money. Jobs wasn’t half the saint people make him out to be.
So he is not really fully stand behind his products after all. However, he did make his believers believing it wholeheartly.
And smoking cigarettes is good for you. Don’t believe all the marketing you see.
