Do the rules cover Apple's own publicly available webpages?


macOS Catalina - Apple

"Sidecar lets you extend your workspace by using your iPad as a second Mac display. Work in one app while you reference another or view your artwork on your Mac while you use tools and palettes on your iPad. You can also mirror the screens so they both display the same content, making it perfect for sharing exactly what you see with others."

If you are participating in the public beta, are an invited seed, or have a for-fee developer account and are using the beta, you may not talk about it at all in any public forum - https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/legal which you can get to from the link in the beta FAQ - https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/faq


These forums themselves have no rules about beta products, since anyone using an Apple Beta product has agreed to a non-disclosure agreement as part of their voluntary enrollment in the beta program. So these forums need no such rules since you’re legally bound not to discuss it, period.


6.Nonuse and Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Except as expressly permitted in this Section 6, you agree that you will not disclose, publish, or otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information to anyone other than individuals who are enrolled in the same individual seed as you, or as otherwise expressly permitted or agreed to in writing by Apple. You further agree to take reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of Confidential Information, including preventing access to or display of the Apple Software to third parties. You agree to use the Confidential Information solely for the permitted uses as set forth in this Agreement. You agree not to use Confidential Information otherwise for your own or any third party’s benefit without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of Apple in each instance. You hereby acknowledge that unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information could cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Apple that may be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, you agree that Apple will have the right to seek immediate injunctive relief to enforce obligations under this Agreement in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have.”

In simple, non-legaleeze, if it is something that Apple has publicly announced at

the WWDC presentation about Catalina or any other official press release can be

referred only up to the details in those public releases.


Sidecar was one of those items publicly in this "official"

press release:

Apple previews macOS Catalina - Apple


However, as a beta tester, one cannot go into any details beyond

such press releases except that the item exists, per Apple's statements.


At least, that is how I see it.
