Apple fires engineer after daughter's iPhone X hands on video goes viral
According to a video posted today, Apple has fired an engineer named Ken Bauer after his daughter posted a hands-on video about the iPhone X on YouTube. The daughter goes by the name of Brooke Peterson. Apple requested that Brooke take down the video, and while she did comply immediately with the company's desires, it was removed from the site well after the clip went viral.
"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"-

Brooke posted a follow-up video, which you'll find at the top of the story. In it, she explains how she filmed the hands-on in the Apple cafeteria and claimed that she had no subscribers at the time she released it. Basically, it was done "for fun" because she likes making YouTube videos. While she says that she had no idea that it was a violation, she also notes that her dad takes full responsibility for the events that transpired.
