Lim Jen Hee, 51, was convicted of two charges of conspiring with logistics manager Serene Ng Shu Kian to commit criminal breach of trust by misappropriating the devices.

Ng was sentenced to nine years' jail in January 2021 for her role in the conspiracy after she pleaded guilty. She testified against Lim in his trial.

The pair worked for Pegatron Service Singapore, which repairs defective iPhones for Apple.

The defective devices would be sent to Pegatron, where a production team would check the phones and repair them. The logistics department would then send the phones back to Apple service providers or retailers.

However, phones that could not be repaired would be retained for further checks, sent to Apple's warehouse vendor Schenker to be scrapped or torn down for parts, or sent to a different service provider for repairs.
