If shopping solves "all your problems" then you have more problems than you know. Hopefully her dad can encourage her to be an engineer.

Apple holds its brand as upmost importance and they curtail their message accordingly. This haphazard video diminishes their image and I highly doubt this followed traditional internal communication channels. This will most definitely be frowned on by internal Apple constituents.
Don't forget that if you come to like the form factor and capacity you're looking at repeating that price ~every 2 years.
Pah! Pennies!
iPhone is for everyone, because there are entry models after all, no? Just wait for all these features to trickle down!
Wow, I really miss the simpler days when iPhones had three "new" prices and that was it.
@Thread: Really doubt this video wasn't approved by Apple.
Glassed Silver:ios
You guys are so funny. No way her Dad is so stupid as to get fired. He either got approval or this was done in conjunction with Apple. Marketing at work here nothing else. Also, that notch is so freaking ugly.
$36 dollars for lunch at Cafe Macs.....jeez
This video was recorded in September. Could be a bug in the Software.What the hell is this UI? So the flashlight and camera buttons are just going to obstruct notifications?
PSA: skip to 3:09 if you don't want to watch a teen shopping for girly stuff. Also turn off the sound.
Obviously PR move. Nothing rogue going on here.

What's the difference between this video and other videos where people were able to play with the iPhone X after the iPhone event? Engadget has a video up from 9/12 where they have a hands on with it.
You do realize that Apple is currently in a strange situation, where the iphone 8's dont sell well and they still dont know how many people will actually decide to buy the X? I think they deliberately went down this route to build up the hype for the phone, if there is any of course.
Absolutely. You nailed it. This video is a big warm bowl of Mac & Cheese for the target consumer. It was allowed to be posted.
Thank you for being outraged on behalf of Apple. By the way, can you list the internal Apple constituents you represent, as well as their actual opinions? I'm sure they can speak for themselves, but still...
Still can't believe how fugly that black notch is. Really ruins the front of the phone.
Right, and her dad didn't realize that when he let his daughter record herself using the X while answering her questions in the middle of the Apple cafeteria and allowing himself to be on the video. C'mon, think people. Think.
that was an Apple approved event at Apple Park...No media has access to the iPhone X outside of the keynote event itself.
Really? Because I think someone was told to build hype for and market the iPhone X. I think it was pretty obvious. She even corrects how to pronounce it ("not ten"... why would she care...?), carefully shows the main features distinguishing it from the iPhone 8, how to work around the lack of home button with gestures... On the Apple campus... I mean come on.Somebody doesn't work at Apple anymore.
If this isn't removed, it's marketing. If Apple would dislike an iPhone X prelaunch video they'll descend upon it like hawks.
Yes you’re completely right , Apple would never market this way .
