The scoop was to reveal the new iPhone's features. The identity of the engineer added absolutely nothing to this. Seemingly the only reason Gizmodo did this was to ride the story for one more day. And to cash in on the additional page views. What made me really upset was the gleeful tone of the identity reveal. They were clearly gloating in the misery of another human being. If he still has a job at Apple or if he was fired or demoted is irrelevant. It's also irrelevant if Apple was harmed or benefitted from Gizmodo's scoop. This is all about human decency towards a fellow man and engineer in our business. @Brian: There was simply no reason to name the Apple engineer who lost the phone.

It’s also irrelevant if Apple was harmed or benefitted from Gizmodo’s scoop. This is all about human decency towards a fellow man and engineer in our business.

I really just don't understand how this really affects Gray Powell as far as outing him goes. I mean Apple already knew he lost it and I don't think the results of this really affected him career-wise. If they were going to get all Gestapo on him they would have well before the article came out and secondly this whole early reveal doesn't hurt Apple in the slightest bit. In fact, it increases the hype and suspense of the whole situation. Buy into SJ's distortion vortex or whatever if you like, but either way Gray Powell is like a mini-celebrity over this and has not lost his job.
