Too late. Minute I read AppleInsider's reporting on this, I deleted Zoom. Fixing it just because you've been caught only communicates to me that you will do it again if you think you can get away with it.

Apple's decision to terminate him is completely appropriate.  He knows what an NDA is and he fully understood why he signed it. He also knows the consequences of breaking the agreement.  It was his duty and obligation to tell his daughter that under no circumstances should she publish that video on any social media sites or anywhere else for that matter until after the official release of the device and it was available for public consumption.  But even after the official release, they would still need to edit the video before posting because Apple would not likely appreciate some parts of the video - like when he seemed to imply that he is the creator of the technology behind ApplePay and that he was just testing it out at the cash register in the cafe. I'd also like to add that, I don't buy his daughter's claim that she had no idea how her video went viral. She is young and therefore by default, clearly understands the power and reach of social media. Therefore, filming the most anticipated device on the planet whilst on the company's campus at a time where everyone else on the planet is running internet searches - day and night - to glean any little bit of information they can about it, how could she not know the video would go viral?  She clearly knows about making videos and is quite familiar with all the concepts of social media and making contributions to it.  She HAD to know that her video would garner all kinds of attention and had viral potential.  She likely thought she would be perceived as an Apple insider (no pun intended) (by way of her father) by all who saw the video.  She knows that people absolutely WANT and CRAVE the inside scoop on all things Apple.  She had to have known that going into this because she is obviously not stupid.  The bottom line is, her impulse to be the cool girl on Apple's property, showing off the new unreleased iPhone made her impervious to the consequences  - the loss of her father's job.  The silver lining is there is a valuable teaching lesson in the experience - hopefully both father and daughter got it and learned from it.

The "apology" video by the child is (yet another) example of how selfish individuals attempt to make everything about themselves rather than considering the consequences that their mistaken and selfish actions have on other people. Anti-empathy at its finest.

I appreciated your entire post, but these last 2 lines really pinpoints the problem eloquently.

I normally love Bad Lip Reading, but that one just plain sucked.

Here it is I thought it was just the call center I reached this morning. I called exactly at eight and was connected to the call center in the Philippines. Long story short I was on for a little over three hours!!!  The representative kept saying to me the systems are down and I keep rebooting but it’s not working for any of the reps here so I will call you back when the systems are up and going. But I kept pleading with her to just keep me on hold until the systems are up because I did not want to lose my place in line. So we stayed connected for three hours talking about life, food and weather in the Philippines. Honestly I feel like we might even get married now lol!! Seriously though, I got the 1 TB purple 14 Pro Max and according to her it will be delivered next week on the 16th! Hooray!

Just curious, is the 1TB for ProRAW?

Well, personally, I opted for 1TB for the general purpose of having as much local storage as possible.  But, having 1TB will absolutely benefit anyone planning on shooting in ProRAW. That being said, it will still fill up quickly if you shoot a lot of photos strictly in ProRAW and keep those photos on the phone’s library.
