▍原文

Knives Out director Rian Johnson recently let slip a factoid that underlines Apple’s drive to protect its brand identity – Apple will not allow its kit to be used by a villainous character on screen.

As such, if you want to figure out who the true villain is in any movie set in the current day, looking for people who don’t use an iPhone might give you a hint.
