iowa. if we can win in new hampshire, i think we're on our way to a national victory and one of the great political upsetsn the modern history of america. >> reporter: on "cbs this morning," sanders said he's not ceding any ground, but he continued to accuse the democratic national committee of playing favorites with the party's front-runner amid the continued fallout of lasasweek's breech of clinton campaign voter data. >> i believe the action of the dnc to basically shut us off from all of the information that we have put into that base, the lifeblood of our campaign, was >> oh, my goodness. >> reporter: one staffer was fired and two others have e en suspended pending an investigation into whether the sanders' team has stolen any of the clinton campaign's data. clinton is still the favorite to win the nomination, but a loss in iowa or new hampshire could draw out the process, especially because sanders is sitting on a campaign war chest fueled by grassroots donors, and,

>> so you can't see what's underneath. >> reporter: meaning if i could see what's underneath it, i would know where the future is of apple. >> you would know what we're working on next. that it's extraordinarily rare that people come into the design studio. >> reporter: that's why you don't like people in this room, period? >> that's right. we don't like people in this room, period. >> reporter: his team of 22 designers are a very close group. in 15 years, only two have left the company. we noticed t tt his studio is quiet and looks a lot like an apple store. no coincidence, he designed both around his signature wooden tables. here he and his team create prototypes of future products before the specifications are sent overseas to be manufactured with. the iphone 6 and 6 plus, the design team made 10 different sized models before deciding which worked best. felt right. they somehow -- not from a tactile point of view, but just emotionally, it feltike a good size. >> reporter: do youo this about every product, this amount of dedication to emotional context? >> this is the tip of the iceberg, because we found the different textures considerably -- what it's like to hold it, what it's like to feel it. so the only way that we know how to resolve an address and develop all of those issues is to make models, is to make prototypes. >> reporter: he showed us how he prototyped the apple watch. it begins with a sketch of the watch casing, then it's transformed into a three blueprint, then sent to a cnc machine. >> the cuttete that you canee there in this cnc machine is now machining incredibly accurately the form, the back of the watch. and all of the tiniest details, as well. >> reporter: once it's been carved, the prototype of the watch casing is sanded and polilied by hand by veteran craftsman. his team overseas every design detail, including testing hundreds of different shades of blues and yellows. >> all of these things, if we manage to get them right, you sort of sense that it's authentic, really thoughtfully cocoeived object. >> reporter: he described a process that comes next, turning product requires a high level of complex engineering. when he wanted to make the newoouew mac book, he worked with apple's head of harare engineering to create a batteryry powerful enough to last all day but also small enough to fit into the slim cased design. >> every tenth of a millimeter in our product is sacred. with this design, it involved mechanical designers, tool makers, chemists, and software engineers to design a pack to fit within the surfaces of the product but still work reliably. >> reporter: one of the most complex engineering challenges involves the iphone camera, the most used feature of any apple product. that's the entire camera you're looking at in my hand. >> there's oveve 200 separate individual parts in that one module there. >> reporter: graham is in charge a team of 800 engineers and other specialists dedicated solely to the camera. he showed us a microsuspension system that steadies the camera when your hand shakes. >> this whole auto focus motor here is suspended on four wires, less than half oh a human hair's width and that moves it in x and y. so that allows us to stabilize for the hand shake. >> reporter: in the camera lab, engineers calibrate the camera to perform in any type of lighting. >> you have bright, bright noon and this you go, sunset now. there we go. so there's different types of quality of lighting from morning, bright sunshine, the noon daylight, and then finally sunset. so believe it or not, to capture one image, there's 24 billion operations going on, just for one picture. charlie's report on apple let's get these dayquil liquid gels and go. but these liquid gels are new. mucinex fast max. it's the same difference. this one is max strength and fights mucus. mucinex fast max. the only cold and flu liquid gel that's max-strength and fights mucus. let's end this. myer crashed this week in italy, breaking twoertebrae in his back but could have been much worse. he was wearing a new airbag system, and it was the first time one inflated during a world cup event. ka tessa brewer has the details. >> reporter: that fractcte of the second, that technology kicked into gear when needed most, leaving him in much better shape than anyone who saw the fall expected. his world cup run came to an unexpected end after he flipped, flew, and crashed his way past the finishine saturday. what most people didn't realize is during the fall, an intricate safety system was at work, an airbag system activated only during falls. the technology has been in development for falls, but only athletes started wearing them. >> it's not as big as an airbag in your car. >> reporter: he helped test the new wearable vests by the italian maker. he says for athletes who measure success by the millisecond, safe safety gear isn't always a top priority. >> it's little bulkier but it's easy to maneuver in it. >> reporter: the airbags are controlled by sensors that detect when a skier abruptly changes position but can distinguish between a jump and a fall. 808 injuries were recorded over the last nine seasons of alpine competition. more than 16% of those involved the head, neck, and shoulders. downhill racing is one of the latest sports to embrace the technology, following in the sports including motorcycle racing. it's a technology insiders say soon will widespread" >> it's gone fron almost science fiction level to reality in just a few years. and maybe in just another year or so it will be something you can walk into a store and buy. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. embarrassed by a prostate exam?
