Ya, Rian Johnson single handedly ruined the Star Wars franchise, by pushing his identity politics. Last Jedi has no replay value, and the Rise of Skywalker is just a bad attempt at trying to fix all the problems Rian introduced.
My sister told me that a production company wanted to film a certain restaurant in their movie, and couldn't find one 'close enough', so they took a great little building on one of the old main roads into the town she lived in. They spent, she figured, tens of thousands to build this 'restaurant' so that it could be in the movie. Then they hired a ton of extras out of the teens and pre-teens in the surounding area. She said the building was a total working restaurant, and someone stopped at it thinking it was an actual restaurant. (They built a 'business route' into the town, and almost no one used that road anymore, except lost out of towners. But the locals were all ecstatic that the place had been rebuilt. The production company was talking about auctioning it off, and letting whoever wins the auction run it as a restaurant again. But then, the writers had a 'brilliant idea'. The main characters have a stalker, and that stalker decides to try to kill them by blowing up the restaurant that they all work in. Yeah, the production company, that spent mid 5-figures building the 'perfect restaurant', and then blew it up. But all the locals loved watching 'the big day'.
Movies are made in their own little world, and things change, and they move on. I heard they didn't clean up the wreckage. Just the roads, and a little bit of collateral damage from some debris that hit a mailbox, and a barn. Weird...
But, yeah, the GEICO ads, and so many others are so bad so that we remember them. They work too. *shrug*
Sometimes we remember the placement, but don't remember the brand placed. I couldn't remember what restaurant they got to-go from. I always thought it was a Taco Bell, or Arbys. I've been 'freaked' at their drive-thrus quite a few times. (One Arby's story I have to tell: I got a chicken sandwich at a drive-thru. I took off down the road, and got 20+ miles down the road before I took a bite out of it. I still can't believe it. One side was burned. It was like cardboard! It was very over cooked in the fryer, and the other side of it was still frozen solid. It was ice cold. I should have taken a picture of it or something. I still can't figure out how they did that. I was impressed, hangry, and threw it out the window)
In the near future, Apple staffs with be part of ALL movie producing team on the earth, and decides who can use iPhone and who can’t
Maybe the poster was being sarcastic? Anyway please head to the community forum for Star Wars rants.
Me either, past the fact that thousands of suspenseful films just got spoiled for potential viewers who now realize that Apple's right up there with Santa Claus on awareness of who's good and who's bad... but Apple is sharing that info with the world way before the credits roll. At least Santa Claus kept it to himself until Christmas Day. 😉
Rian Johnson can go walk off a cliff for what he did to star wars !
in some specific case, it could be true.
But most of the time, is better to show a "good" face behind ad Apple product (on a marketing point of view).
Apple spends billions on product placement, advertising, sponsorship, publicity, getting mentioned on the news, being seen as a fashion accessory, etc., etc. Consumer attention doesn't happen by accident.

You do know this article is about product placement, don't you.
And I have to laugh every time I see an Apple product with the label covered up. I assume that's because Apple didn't pay them for putting it there. Like in Big Bang, the iMacs, and MacBooks, all with covered logos. (Or does Apple pay for that too? Subliminal advertising is very powerful)
