Rian Johnson: Apple doesn't let bad guys use iPhones on screen

Gizmodo

Johnson made the revelation in a Knives Out scene breakdown for Vanity Fair, though if it's unclear if the alleged edict applies to Apple TV+ shows. “I don’t know if I should say this or not...not ‘cause it’s like, lascivious or something, but because it’s going to screw me on the next mystery movie that I write,” says Johnson. “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. So, oh no! Every single filmmaker that has a bad guy in their movie that’s supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now.”
