Reports claim that a UPS employee has revealed that Apple is gearing up for a “big announcement”.
An administrative assistant at UPS who has access to documentation relating to shipments to Apple’s HQ in Cupertino claimed: “Something big is about to happen.”
While most wouldn’t be surprised if Apple was to launch a new MacBook Pro in the next few weeks, the source seemed convinced that it wasn’t that: “I’m positive it’s not MacBooks or iPads,” she told iPhone 5 News Blog.
“Nothing has been flown out, but they are definitely getting everything in order for customs and the FCC, I can tell you that,” she said.
The source claimed that she had come into contact with documentation relating to “unidentified units” that were being shipped to Cupertino: “14 of them to be exact, as I’ve said before I’m not at liberty to go into detail but if they’re going to headquarters I can only believe that they might be testers.”
There is speculation that these units could be iPhone 5 or Apple Television prototypes.

Ya think the "employee" is still working for UPS? Or that Apple is reevaluating its business relationship with UPS? Or that UPS would let this leak happen? Or, more likely, this is just another FUD piece?
