ChainCatcher news, recently, a tech community blogger Andy Baio discovered that the Bitcoin whitepaper can be found on any Mac running the latest version of macOS. It can be discovered through a simple terminal command or by navigating Finder.

In the Finder terminal, enter the following command: open /System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf. Users need to navigate to Macintosh HD -> System -> Library -> Image Capture -> Devices. Hold Control and click on VirtualScanner.app to show package contents, then open Contents -> Resources folder -> simpledoc.pdf.
Additionally, the blogger stated that the Bitcoin whitepaper is used as a sample document for a device called "Virtual Scanner II." This device is hidden or not installed by default for some users. Some users speculate that Apple may earn commissions from Bitcoin transactions through related features. (Appleinsider)
