Meaning they'll pay the movie-makers? How much would be involved? Is there anything they would do if the filmmakers decided to eschew the payment and give a villain an iPhone anyway?

Then the product placement contract would be violated and the filmmakers wouldn't get any money from Apple for the placement of iPhones in their movie.
I find good, paywalled content on the HN homepage regularly, if not daily. If you want to read it you can usually find a workaround.
What’s the point of flagging content you can not read, or do not want to put the effort into reading through workarounds? This only lowers discoverability for others.
This article from last year [1] has more content. It says:
> “We used Coca-Cola bottles on the day of shooting, and we had to paint out the Coca-Cola label [later],” said Boyle in an interview.
What rule prevents them using a Coca-Cola bottle on-screen? Is it the copyright of the logo, perhaps?
(There are also some actual numbers. "Daniel Craig reportedly spurned a $50m deal that would have seen James Bond using a Samsung phone in 2015 outing Spectre because he did not consider it good enough for 007." – so we can see how much money is on the table for these deals.)

Can Apple prevent iPhones from being used in movies?
