Apple fires employee after daughter's iPhone X video goes viral
- pxeboot 9y agoThe fact that the employee was present during the filming of this makes me suspect it was done intentionally.
- ilanco 9y agoWhat does he stand to gain, surely this is a breach of contract.
- colinbartlett 9y agoI think the parent meant done intentionally by Apple? The whole thing could be a PR stunt.
- pxeboot 9y agoHis daughter gets famous and gets into a career she wanted?
- jsgo 9y agoIt is fleeting though: her “fame” and potentially career (though seems like that isn’t her end goal, seems more like she’s like every teenager I’ve met who wants to publicly video document everything and use it as some kind of social interaction) are predicated on access to prerelease Apple hardware. That’s gone now.
- loydb 9y agoBased on everything I know from my Apple employee friends, no -- this is what happens when you break the wall of silence. I feel bad for him, it sucks to lose a job, but he should have known better.
- fiatpandas 9y agoIntentionally with a nice view into Notes with unreleased project code names and calendar invites with other employee names? This is not intentional PR.

- pfarnsworth 9y agoIn the video he leaked Apple employee QR codes, and code names for unreleased products. He was very careless and deserves to get fired, given the position of trust he was given by Apple. I'm not sure why he was so careless or why he thought it was a good idea, but it clearly shows a lack of judgement on his part.
