Netflix Builds Detailed Apple Store Replica for 'iHostage' Movie

What happened to Apple being so restrictive about how their products are displayed in movies? Was that just a myth?

You don't need permission from them...

The huge video wall is impressive, but it must’ve been expensive.

“Suits” got by with a curtain and it worked fine.

Yes, indeed. The wife and I often cuddle up together and watch something, on Prime, for €25 year. Quite frankly there is already enough watchable stuff on there. Why would we also need Netflix, Disney, MGM, Hulu, etc etc, who then come up with crap like this? But it's not really about the money, I could spend €100/month on streaming and not feel it, but we all still only have 24hrs in a day.

Prime really bugs me though. So much or what’s on there requires an addition payment. I prefer if it was formatted like the others where everything they have is free, or at least hide away the rentals in a separate section you actively have to click on or search within

If production purchased the items they can do whatever they want with them on film. It's when Apple provides product that they have some say on how they are used.

That makes sense. I think it’s the detail many articles about it left out. I know companies can sue for damage to their brand, but I don’t see how a bad guy using an Apple product would be that.

I am the only one who was noticing all the details in the store they got wrong and weren’t “Apple” (I obviously spend too long in Apple stores) 🤣🤣
