Just goes to show:
- Apple has no clue what they are doing (it will be 6 weeks...no 4 weeks...no 2 weeks)
- Demand is actually softer than first reported

Seriously, I give this company 4 years, tops, and you will read about them in the same sentence as Palm, Compaq, Nokia and RIM...

Also, I still think macrumors and 9to5 should not be allowed to attend Apple events for a while after the needless and incredibly selfish spoiler stunt they pulled. I havn't revisited those sites since the event.

Okay,  YouTube as a marketing vector, got it.  But wouldn't it make sense to not publicly fire employees whose daughter does the same thing.  I get that she (and he) were not part of the marketing community, but insn't that just what AAPL wanted with its multiple reviews on YouTube, a viral hit?  Her hit count was above 3.7M views for her apology https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/30/apple-reportedly-fires-engineer-whose-daughter-shot-iphone-x-video-from-the-apple-campus/

How would you know this information? Have you been on the campus? Let me tell, cases like that go to court and the perspective might be very different for this guy, he may win his case against a firing! Be very careful, there is know way you know what happened!

So, should they now also sue all the Apple Event attendees who showed off the iPhone X on camera and on their Vlogs... at the Opening Event hands-on demo... which was held earlier in time? Here's your subpoena, CNET.
