Actual incident:
Just like many Vloggers these days, Brooke Amelia Peterson posted 300 seconds long video which comprises of shopping for makeup and clothes in the silicon valley. However, in the end of the video, she visited her father in Apple Campus Cupertino for the dinner. When they were savouring the Pizza in the cafeteria, Amelia’s dad handed over his unreleased Apple iPhone X to test. In a time frame of 45 seconds, she showcased design, UI elements and camera module.
Soon after the video went live, it became viral and many blogging websites called it, the best in action Apple iPhone X till date, which also went into the notice of Apple. Then Amelia was approached by Apple to take down the video, and she just did just like they said. However, the mistake was already done and, before she can do anything, his father was fired from the job.
