After which, she received a notice from Apple and her manager that she is to lose her job if the video is not taken down.

Apple and TikTok Videos

TikTok is a massive platform now and it may have started with dance covers and random content from the initial creators, but it became a place where people show hacks and insider content from different companies. There are some that post videos about what their life as a fast food worker is like daily, with some giving tips on iPhone hacks.

Many videos focus on giving the public more access to their smartphones, particularly the iPhone, which many people own for their needs and wants. Not everyone is well adept at accessing their devices as others do, and different content creators give the public life hacks that would save their day or well, life, over their iPhone and other Apple product use.

Once there was a viral video regarding a hidden emoji feature for the iPhone that people may use for texting via the iOS 15.

Nevertheless, these hacks do not give Apple a bad name in public, rather provide the public with more to enjoy and access with their devices.

Campbell's case with Apple is not yet seeing any progression, on whether she stays with the company or gets terminated for her videos, but the case is pending and the threat of losing her job is on the line. Still, Apple did not make any comment after she identified herself as an Apple employee, with her videos talking about iPhone accessibility features from an inside person.
