How come almost all movies have IPhones and macbooks in them?
Every movie I watch, if it goes to a scene where they're on their phone or laptop it's always an IPhone, MacBook, or something by apple. Why is it never Windows or something.
It's called product placement, and yes there are windows in them very often. I can name 2 off the top of my head: the computer Q uses in sky fall is a Vaio.
The computer Peter Parkers parents use is made by Sony.
Some product makers "push" their products in TV & movies.
Others are picked by the producers / directors as they look appropriate.
eg. A lot of the computers/tablet in the various CSI series have been Microsoft types.
In some other series, all the monitors have a Dell logo on the back.
Many of the laptops in "The Martian" are Panasonic toughbooks.
(They appear a lot in police / military / space stuff).
In this case, they have used a model released over ten years ago so I suspect they are the writers/directors choice rather than advertising placement.
eg.
It's the same with various other things, eg. Cars - many programs and movies have the main characters all using one make of car, which will be mentioned in the credits.
There's a list of computer makes in movies here (though it does seem rather out-of-date)

Product placement. Apple pays them to do this.
Apple pay for the advertising. Microsoft don't.

- Why my iphone 5a says storage is almost full why I've almost nothing? So my iphone 5s says my storage is almost full while pictures is about 800! And I've no music no books and no big apps! This happened before And I tried deleting all pictures and most of the apps but nothing changed! So I had to format & update my phone then it worked… Now it happened again I can't delete my stuff because it's ridiculous! Why do I have to do this while my phone isn't really full:"( Now I have only 251 MB available:"
- Why is Apple so keen to push USB-C with their Macbooks but they don't include USB-C on the iPhone? It seems like the Macbook department at Apple thinks USB Type C is the best thing since sliced bread but the iPhone department thinks USB Type C is work of the devil.
- Why do people like apple products such as iphones and macbooks? IN terms of phones Androids are BY FAR the superior device and also why would you spend over $1000 dollars on a macbook pro when you can get a toshiba touchscreen laptop with 1000 gigabytes worth of storage for only $699? Seriously i would like to know.
- What is your opinion on teenagers having MacBooks and iPhones? Lots of people say they are underage to have the responsibility of a macbook or iPhone. I'm 13 and i take good care of mine What do you think?
