and you want to know who the bad guys are, remember this,
bad guys and villains are banned from using iphones on screen, photograph Vanity Fair, Rian Johnson, the director for the film Knives Out, explains in an
interview for Vanity Fair that Apple forbids filmmakers from
letting villainous characters use iPhones on screen, so if you see a character
using an iPhone, that means that that character is not one of the bad guys,
The Verge says
that Apple has long carefully controlled how its products appear on screen:
there have long been rumors about Apple’s
control over how its products are shown in TV shows and movies. According to
MacRumors, the company says that its products should only be used “in the best
light, in a manner or context that reflects favorably on the Apple products and
on Apple Inc.” It’s especially difficult when Apple is the one bankrolling a
production. Last year, The New York Times reported that Apple was concerned
with how its devices were depicted in content made for its own streaming
service.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment, this control seems to go back a long way, and not just for iphones, check out this
Wired article from way back in 2002, which pointed out that all the good guys
in 24 use Macs, and all the bad guys use Dell Windows PCs, well that should make watching movies a little easier to work out!
