We all know the extreme lengths Apple goes to in protecting its image and controlling its marketing. They’ve become so good at marketing. Now, director Rian Johnson is revealing what lengths Apple does go to. According to the director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Apple does not allow bad guys to use iPhones in the movies.

“I don’t know if I should say this or not,” Johnson said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “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 even jokingly said this information may very well ruin future mystery movies because it inadvertently reveals what characters may be good and bad. “Every single filmmaker that has a bad guy in their movie that’s supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now,” he joked. This is especially important when watching Knives Out, where almost every character is suspected in the murder of a wealthy crime novelist named Harlan Thrombey.
It seems a little extreme to us that Apple would deny the use of iPhones in bad guys hands. But I guess they have their reasons. Maybe they don’t want to give the wrong impressions.
