Apple employees at a store in Queensland, Australia are alleged to have stolen intimate images from customer phones and rated photos of female staff and clients based on their appearance.
According to the Courier-Mail, staff at a store in Carindale had a "photo-sharing ring," swapping pictures taken of other female staff and customers and rating them out of 10.

The six Australian teenagers who had been born in Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, Eritrea and Egypt were asked to leave the store after a staff member told them they might steal something.
"We believe in equality for everyone, regardless of race, age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation," an Apple spokesperson said at the time.
