Youtuber Gets Her Engineer Dad FIRED For Leaking Details About Iphone X

I can’t imagine costing my dad his job. I would be HEARTBROKEN and feel so incredibly guilty. I don’t think I’d be able to live with myself.

I also can’t imagine doing anything this STUPID, so I don’t think I have anything to worry about.

According to this:

Apple has reportedly fired one of its engineers after his daughter leaked details about the upcoming iPhone X on her YouTube channel.

On Wednesday Brooke Amelia Peterson posted footage of the 10th anniversary iPhone, which she claimed to have picked up when visiting her dad at Apple’s California HQ.

But in a new video posted on Saturday, Peterson said that her ‘honest, wonderful’ dad had lost his job as a result of her video, and begged users not to target him.

‘You know what guys? Hate on me all you want, but please don’t hate on my father, because he’s the best person,’ she said, welling up.

Here’s her “apology” video.

I don’t feel sorry for her in the slightest. What did she THINK would happen?

And despite her “tearful” plea for people to leave her father alone, she titled her newest video “MY IPHONE X VIDEO WENT VIRAL” and the description is “Marques created an amazing Iphone X impression. Check it out! ”

She’s reeeeally proud of herself.

As for her dad… it was really stupid of him to let his daughter record herself with the confidentially-held phone. I mean… he was there. He saw her do it. He was even IN parts of the video. Maybe he didn’t realize his cupcake would upload it to the internet…. but the video she recorded was very obviously meant to show other people.

I don’t know… I think he definitely holds responsibility in all of this.

Peterson recorded her first video while visiting Caffè Macs, the cafeteria at Apple’s HQ in Cupertino, California, last week.
That video – which she has since deleted at Apple’s request- shows her father using the iPhone X to automatically pay for lunch before he lets her use it.
He is quite aware that she is filming as she activates the Control Center and swipes through the Home Screen’s pages.

‘Dad has the new iPhone X’, she says in the video. ‘Look at how big the screen is… you just swipe to go back home.’

The pair also play with animoji, Apple’s animated emojis that mimic the user’s expression, with her father holding the phone up for her.

Unfortunately for him, that video – which Peterson says she never expected to go viral – led to her father losing his job.

She didn’t expect it to go viral? So what, she figured it was fine because only a FEW people would watch it and she wouldn’t get caught?

She does seem to understand they messed up…

‘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 you’ve gotta go,’ she said in her latest video.

But she adds: ‘I’m not mad at Apple, I’m not going to stop buying Apple products. Rules are in place for the safety and happiness of workers, and my dad takes absolutely full responsibility for the one rule that he broke.’

Yeah. You both messed up.

Interesting how she still feels entitled enough to say she’s not mad. What right does she have to be mad? No one MADE her or her dad do this.
