Brooke Amelia Peterson claims her engineer dad lost his job at the tech giant as a result of her video

YOUTUBE blogger claims Apple fired her dad after she leaked details of the long-awaited iPhone X before its release. Brooke Amelia Peterson claims she used the iPhone X when visiting her dad who works as an engineer at the tech giant’s California HQ.

She runs through the latest model’s features in a video posted on Wednesday shot in the company’s own cafeteria but has since deleted it. Now in a new new video posted on Saturday, Peterson claims her “honest” and “wonderful” dad had lost his job as a result of her video. In her latest clip, she said tearfully: “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 explained that her footage of the new phone broke company policy saying: “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.”Peterson pays for her food at the Apple cafeteria counter using Apple Pay

The tech giant’s chief executive Tim Cook said the latest flagship handset was a milestone for the company a decade after the first iPhone was released. A big new feature of the iPhone X is a system called “Face ID” that lets you unlock your handset using your face. Apple claims Face ID can’t be fooled in any way, meaning you won’t be able to get into someone’s phone by scanning a photo of them.
