Apple sacked its engineer after daughter’s iPhone X video goes viral
Brooke Amelia Peterson said her father had been fired from Apple for a video she made.
As soon as Apple noticed the video, it asked that Ms Peterson take it down, which she promptly did.
“Apple let [my father] go”, Peterson said in her second video.
She got the phone directly from her father, an Apple engineer.
Apple started taking pre-orders for the iPhone X last week.
Apple, however, did not make it clear whether supply for iPhone X will remain tight as predicted by market analysts.
We should also mention that Apple Care+ doesn’t inflate the fix prices even though the damage is “accidental”. Thie strict act is surely going to serve as a reminder for Apple employees and remind them that confidentiality is taken very seriously at the multinational. The Company’s products and services include iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod, Apple TV, a portfolio of consumer and professional software applications, the iOS and OS X operating systems, iCloud, and a variety of accessory, service and support offerings. But it appears Peterson revealed employee-only QR codes and a text file of codenames for unreleased Apple devices. But by then it was too late and the video was copied over into new posts. “If you want to call me names that’s fine but please leave my dad alone because he is everything to me”, she said.
The iPhone X, unlike the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, launched with a new design, an OLED display, and a new range of camera sensors that let you unlock the device with Face ID.
Daryanani said he expects Apple to sell nearly every iPhone X it can make in the current quarter because it won’t be able to keep up with demand.
Another analyst, Jeffrey Kvaal from brokerage Nomura Instinet, said Apple and USA wireless carriers’ pushing out of delivery times for iPhone X orders to 5-6 weeks was longer than for previous phones and pointed to strong demand.
