Apple fires engineer after daughter’s hands-on video of the iPhone X goes viral

While the iPhone X is already available for pre-order, the phone is technically not out of the market yet and that has gotten one of the company’s engineers in trouble. A YouTube vlogger named Brooke Amelia Peterson posted a now taken down video of her hands-on with the iPhone X. She got her hands on the phone courtesy of her father who works as an engineer in the tech giant. The video was shot inside Apple’s cafeteria and understandably blew up on YouTube and ended up on the streaming site’s top trending videos list. And that unfortunately led to her dad getting fired from the company. In the video above, Peterson talks about what happened and she says at one point, “Apple let him go. At the end of the day, when you work for Apple, it doesn’t matter how good of a person you are. If you break a rule, they just have no tolerance.” She says she has no bitterness towards the company and she understands that they had to do what they had to do.
