Apple Reportedly Bans Villains from Using iPhones On-Screen to Protect Brand Image.

Is Your Favorite Movie Villain Using an Android? Here’s Why…

In a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood script, it’s been revealed that Apple reportedly doesn’t allow villains to use iPhones in movies or TV shows 😱. That’s right — if a character’s up to no good, don’t expect to see them scrolling on an iPhone. The reason? To protect Apple’s squeaky-clean brand image. 🍏✨

🧐 The Rule Behind the Scenes

Filmmakers and fans have started noticing a trend: heroes and main characters are often seen with shiny new iPhones, while shady or mysterious characters use other phones — or none at all. Coincidence? Not likely.

This behind-the-scenes rule is rumored to be part of Apple’s strict product placement guidelines, designed to associate iPhones with “good guys” only. 🎭📵

🎥 What This Means for Movies

• Want to spot the villain early? 👀 Just check what phone they’re using.
• Directors have reportedly had to change scripts or hide phones to comply.
• This creates a subtle — and maybe a little sneaky — form of storytelling control.

😅 Fans Are Torn

Some moviegoers are finding this hilarious, while others say it messes with artistic freedom. Imagine a modern-day villain texting from a flip phone… yeah, not very menacing. 😆

But one thing’s for sure — Apple takes its image seriously, and that includes who gets to touch their devices on screen.
