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.
