šŸ“±iphones in movies

i’m sure a lot of our readers use iphones. according to statistics iphone users make up about:

  • more than a billion people worldwide

  • about 65% of people in the US

there’s something interesting in the film industry, however, which is that apple actually prohibits their products from being used by antagonists

 

šŸŽž guess who did it

the news came from director rian johnson a few years back in a vanity fair video for his film <knives out> (2019). he explained that villains are not allowed to be seen on screen touching an iphone. this led to an interesting incident last year:

  • the secret villain of the <falcon and winter soldier> (2021) show from marvel was practically spoiled because some people noticed that the character wasn’t using an iphone

  • this news was picked up by several news outlets including a forbes article

basically, if you watch a film and a suspicious character is using an iphone, they’re probably not the ā€œbad guyā€. apple seems to be keeping to this policy

 

do you think this is a smart move on apple’s part or just completely unnecessary? i’d love to know what you think

have a great weekend y’all!

tip $2, 5, or 10 :)
