Apple has reportedly fired an engineer who worked on iPhone X after his daughter, Brooke Amelia Peterson, posted a hands-on video of the device to YouTube, breaking the company's non-disclosure agreement policies. Apple subsequently called for its removal, a request with which Peterson complied, but not before the footage went viral.
In a post to her YouTube channel on Saturday, Peterson claims Apple was forced to fire her father over the incident. Company rules strictly prohibit the documenting of unreleased hardware, whether it be photos, video or descriptions of device features. Unauthorized filming on Apple property is also verboten. "Apple let him go," Peterson said. "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."
