That seems like one of those things that you laugh at, think "well that's pretty petty", and then forget about. It's not a big deal.

Couldn't be further from it. The only Apple device I own is an old Mac Mini that's sitting in a drawer somewhere. My PC's a Dell and my phone's a Xiaomi.

Seems like it may spoil a hidden/surprise villain if theyre the only one not using an apple product lol

People only know about this because a director for a movie from 2019 confirmed it about their own movie.

Trying not to spoil the movie because it's a great movie lol

Never used a Mac, never used an iPad, and when my old iPhone 6 crapped out, I bought a brand new Motorola Z3 for $150 on clearance at Target. I am completely Apple-free. [except for an iPod I use for iTunes.]

Apple, who charges $1200+ for an iPhone they make for around $100 by exploiting women and child slaves in impoverished countries.

Im curious as to how that works.

Is this a legal restriction, or a film studios get free shit from companies who want to advertise, and Apple wont give stuff if its for a villain?

If its legal, does this extend to books or comics? If I write and sell a novel, I cant have the neo-nazi hollow earth raptor alien from the 5th dimension hack nuclear codes using a MacBook?

probably a legal restriction. Technically you're using their product on screen, so they can tell you what to do with it. It's why movies use "offbrand" stuff like BuckStars than Starbucks.

To suggest one iPhone-wielding villain could undo the brands ubiquity and market share seems both hyper self-conscious and an overinflation of any given villains brand influence.

Moreover, Apple doesnt seem to have any problem with real-life villains like Donald Trump or Martin Shkreli publicly using their iPhones.

tbh it's not like apple has any control over if they use it or not. They do have control over it in media though. It is weird that they think a villain using an iPhone means no one will ever want an iPhone, but i guess it pre-empts someone making a movie with a character who supports satan and having them use a macbook and a iPhone. People wanted to cancel Nike over the lil nas x shoes that they had no part in. Don't underestimate stupidity.
