One, are they actually "leaks" or just very convenient publicity?
Two, that's the problem when you run a massive international supply chain heavily reliant on a third party staffed with disgruntled workers.
Three, I forget. But yeah, there are more leaks these days than there used to be that's for sure.

Most things get leaked these days, its easier to keep things under wrap the first time your releasing it but after that the supply chain scale gets huge and there is money in leaks these days.
Also the iPhone 5 was worse, there wasn't a signal thing that wasn't leaked for that device, and I think there still is a big wow factor to come with the 5S as a finger print scanner wont matter to most people I believe.

Admittedly apple has lost the surprise factor it used to enjoy, the bit in keynotes where Steve Jobs suddenly pulled some unknown device out of his pocket and announced it would available in apple stores by the end of the keynote.
On the other hand, at the same time you had those irritating Wall Street "Apple Insiders" who would turn round a few months before because no one had a clue what was coming and say how apple was bringing out a new mobile device that produced gold as a bi-product and a new desktop that would cook you breakfast, go to work for you and solve world hunger on sundays and an iphone thaht would actually make you money. Then when apple actually brought out something like an ipod with bigger capacity or a more mobile laptop and a bigger screened phone, their stocks plummeted.
I'd say whatever they've lost one place, they've gained elsewhere.
