This whole article is lifted credulously from newsx.com, including the "but the iPhone 18 will be great" paragraph at the end. The referenced tweet is a crypto account. Zero effort to verify the claim or the source, which itself provides no verifiable details. I'd love to hear if anyone thinks https://www.tiktok.com/@honeycoolcat is a credible source.

The actual source is a video of the said Apple engineer from their TikTok account:

Right, and the only evidence that they were an Apple engineer is their claim in the same video. In the absence of any actual journalism happening here, my assumption is this is a random Tiktoker making up a story for likes.

I'm almost certain this is the case. There's other videos where she talks about calling an executive meeting to hand in her two weeks and another one complaining that the corporate offices don't have ac or windows. I think it's all engagement bait.
