Rian Johnson spills the beans

While fruity cargo-cult Apple tries to get its gear product placed into movies, it insists that it cannot be used by the bad guys.

According to Knives Out and Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, Apple has a strict stipulation in its product placement contracts that its devices cannot be used by any villainous characters. In a Knives Out scene dissection for Vanity Fair, Johnson said: "Apple, they let you use iPhones in movies but, and this is very pivotal if you're ever watching a mystery movie, bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera". He followed this up with, "Every single filmmaker who has a bad guy in their movie that's supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now".

So, in other words, it is ok if your phone is made by convicted price cartel operators who peddle overpriced gear which sometimes can't tell the time, or needs a rubber band to work, but it cannot be seen in the hands of a screen racketeer.
