I sincerely doubt that.

Im pretty sure the dad just had his daughter take it down, because it of all the views it was getting overnight
She could be the Queen of England and it wouldn’t matter if she shot it on a Red camera... her dad did something he wasn’t supposed to do and she got him in trouble by showing the device that he was not allowed to show.
I didn’t. I assumed nothing. But people as usual did. And I said “I believe” them.
Say what you will about the notch, it is distinctive. In the sea of rectangles, an iPhone will still stand out. And as long as the notch does not obscure content (app layout, games and videos and such), which I am sure will be choppy in the beginning and will get sorted out in a few months, the distinctiveness the notch gives the iPhone will be as invaluable to the iPhone image as the home button was.
Yes, but Apple has always sold us a lifestyle. They want you to be that person in the ad for example (with the original Apple Watch ads, iPhone 5 ads etc.). This really feels off-brand for Apple because it does not convey a must have feeling. Her dad still has this old Wallpaper from 2009/2010, I think, as a background, etc. It does not feel very "cool", not even for a young person.
The cafeteria is the most public place on a campus. People from many different departments inside Apple will go there. Most Apple employees will not have access to pre-release products. Security doesn't start at preventing any video there. Security starts by limiting foremost the number of people with access to unreleased products and secondly by limiting where they can take it and use it. The breach is not the filming in the cafeteria, the breach is transporting something to the cafeteria and more importantly showing something to somebody at the cafeteria when 99% of the people that have the right to be in the cafeteria (which, as it is abundantly clear, even includes guests) are not cleared to see the pre-release product.
Sure, Apple could frisk everybody entering the campus, including the cafeteria, and confiscate any hardware capable of taking videos to prevent filming. But it is much easier to instruct the people with access to unreleased products not to take their device out of the pocket while outside of rooms that only approved people have access to. Apple isn't the CIA, do you think it should disallow any video recording devices on its campus? Or should it have a security guard watching over everybody's shoulder? If Apple cannot trust its employees that have been given access to unreleased products, how could it trust the security guards watching over them?
The video is taken by the daughter of an Apple employee simply because only Apple employees have an iPhone X at this point (and in particular at point the video was actually taken at). The video was taken on Apple premises because the iPhone X was not allowed to leave the Apple Campus. None of this requires any direction from Apple at all. What happened to the principle that the most simple explanation is the most likely one?
But I am fed up with people who cannot accept that most unexpected stuff is just happening by accident. I am fed up with people who think the world is so simple that everything can be directed by a small clique at the top. This irrational need for high-level purpose behind everything is one of the things that sometimes let's me despair at the world.

Something is off with the aspect ratio on this video. Everything looks fat. When you see the front of the phone, it is much less tall (or if you want much wider) than it should be given the dimensions and official head-on images we have of it.

Would you do me a favor and add me to your ignore list? Thanks in advance.
Ex
exactly. After it was posted and people started talking about the entitled girl, Apple realized this was a mistake.
It's good to see it in a real life context though, as oppose to a carefully scripted demo.
She's NOT a 12 year old girl. She's a vlogger who is married and either has a kid, or is expecting one. Watch her other videos. SHe's also also using a couple thousand dollars of video gear to shoot the video, which again... she has a video explaining that I posted a few back. This video is the same style as her others... I believe she just posted it a few days too early, and her YouTube channel will be growing as a result of the oops.
Are you talking about the girl in the video? does that girl look anywhere near 12 to you? LOL! she's married and pregnant... if that was a 12 year old there would be a bigger problem
Thicker is absolutely fine if; A: Camera bump removed. B. Phone is smaller or more ergonomic overall (ie iPhone 3G/4/5).
The X still has a camera bump despite increased thickness, is more like a phablet in size being larger in every dimension than the already-large 6/7/8.
I wonder if anyone can find out for sure if her dad got in trouble or not? Now that's been a day...
It's not. But they chose to post the video and 299 replies on this forum speculated on all of it and whether or not he did, it was approved etc. I hope he didn't. Seems like a nice guy.
