Based on everything I know from my Apple employee friends, no -- this is what happens when you break the wall of silence. I feel bad for him, it sucks to lose a job, but he should have known better.
Intentionally with a nice view into Notes with unreleased project code names and calendar invites with other employee names?
This is not intentional PR.
What does he stand to gain, surely this is a breach of contract.
I think the parent meant done intentionally by Apple? The whole thing could be a PR stunt.
His daughter gets famous and gets into a career she wanted?
It is fleeting though: her “fame” and potentially career (though seems like that isn’t her end goal, seems more like she’s like every teenager I’ve met who wants to publicly video document everything and use it as some kind of social interaction) are predicated on access to prerelease Apple hardware. That’s gone now.
