I'll keep it simple. A concept I am working on features the protagonist using a cellphone frequently. There would be frequent extreme close up shots of the phone itself, the screen etc as it is integral to the plot (accessing messages/images/camera apps etc). I would like to use a recognisable device, the most obvious one being an Apple iPhone which has a very recognisable home screen/layout etc to add to the realism.
What steps would I have to take to make sure I don't step on Apple's toes? I know I am small fry but if the finished product does end up with any kind of recognition, will Apple have an issue with the unauthorised use of their product in my film? It may feature the product in a "negative" light such as low battery reminders/poor signal etc.
