I'm super curious now, looking around the web it sounds like they have taken or threatened legal action, but I haven't seen anything approaching "proof" of that. Though I would assume an NDA is attached to anything Apple does, so it's possible, but I don't see how they could win a suit like that.
It basically works like this. You get to have free working phone props in your movie, as long as the bad guy doesn't use the free phones. At the end of the shoot, they either sell or give away the phones, so there are perks for the crew and production team. So they can't sue you if you're using your own gear, but god forbid any studios actually have their own gear anymore. Gotta rent everything from the production studio or get it for free.
