Not sure how I feel about this honestly. Her dad should know the seriousness of Apple's secrecy and should have advised his daughter not to make such a silly move. However, this act can also be seen as petty on Apple's part as details of the iPhone X were already announced.

Wonder what Apple did to those who leaked the HomePod firmware.

there's quite a lot more to it. maybe in the video. but i didn't watch it.

The video itself may have seemed like an innocent hands-on, but it did include footage of an iPhone X with special employee-only QR codes. A notes app was also shown on the iPhone X in the video, which appeared to include codenames of unreleased Apple products. Filming on Apple’s campus is strictly prohibited, so filming an unreleased iPhone X is a definite rule violation.

We’ve seen similar dismissals in the past. A Microsoft employee was dismissed after his son posted pictures of the Xbox 360 before its release. The Apple engineer in question had worked at the company for around four years, building the iPhone RF and wireless circuit design. The Verge reached out to Apple to confirm the dismissal, but the company has not yet responded to a request for comment.

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

you know how secretive Apple are.

Wonder what was the father thinking. Unless he was growing sick and tired at Apple, otherwise I’m sure 100% of their staff knows how secretive their products are. Especially so before actual release.

Well at least he got to use the iPhone X before the rest of the world lol

Don't necessarily need to upgrade to iPhone X bah. The 5s is aging, even the SE would be a good upgrade.

Should be ok for the edge to edge gestures. Coming from bb10 which uses swiping gestures from the edge and with the tgsp, it was ok one

I guess it all depends on the case. I had a Powersupport case (the full body one with the glass screen protector insert) for my 6S. Some gestures from the edge didn't work after I used it

He could have thought his daughter was just filming for herself. May not have didn't realise that she would post it.

Get the 12W iPad charger. Charges almost as fast as the 29W one and it only cost $28. No need for extra cables.

The bezel on the X looks thick
Just wondering if choose Space grey will the black borders be accentuated by the black stainless steel band

Still undecided between silver and black

 

[VodkaPear]

they returned or they cancelled?

from what i understand, returning the phone be it sealed or unsealed will carry penalty one leh..

Apple usually honours what they say on website, and i don't think there is any way to ask for personal grace when it comes to this?

they return.
no penalty lay.
100% refund for the 8 sets.

Thanks. That seemed to be the most cost efficient solution!

same..that's why i ordered 1 colour each. they are 2nd wave so i have some time to take a look at the actual set before deciding which to get and let go the other colour/cancel order (if time permits)
