In the real world, the vast, vast majority (85% - 90%) of personal/home computers run some version of Microsoft Windows. In particular, the majority of engineers, accountants, self-employed people and teachers use Windows PCs. A fairly small number of geeks, a decently large number of data centers and supercomputer labs, and many, many scientists also run Unix-like systems, particularly Linux.note macOS is a part-proprietary, part-open-source UNIX-based operating system, as of OS X - the previous OS releases were not UNIX-based This leaves Apple Macintoshes as the minority interest mainly of a small minority of college studentsnote The Mac was specifically targeted toward higher education, academics, and a number of "creative" types — artists, writers, musicians, etc. However... it just so happens that the latter kind of people are the ones responsible for all media. Combine that with the often-messianic zeal that Apple's hardware/software seems to generate in all who buy into it, and we have Apple computers being massively disproportionately represented. And then we have the fact that Apple knows damn well about this situation and is more than willing to supply free hardware, though they reportedly never pay for Product Placement. While Windows holds a much larger share of the market, its share is spread among several large and many small vendors. While Microsoft has ventured into hardware with their very well-received Surface line, they hold a relatively small share of the market, focusing on premium (i.e.: direct Mac competitors) leaving mass market PCs to other manufacturers. So despite an uptick in Surface product placement, the bulk of PC representation in TV and film are generic looking laptops that have Windows replaced by a Viewer-Friendly Interface. At the same time, though, Apple doesn't allow villains to use their products, which can result in spoilers for sufficiently observant viewers (unless directors ban iProducts from their work entirely). It also helps that the minimalist design of most Apple products means that, not only do they not stand out in the background of a shot, but they also look pretty damn slick, too. Note that this does not apply to iDevices, which are actually very popular in the real world. Given that in late 2012, iPads account for something like 70% of all tablet computers, they're emphatically NOT this trope — it would be more notable if someone were using a tablet that was not an iPad. For iPhones, this applies to some degree — as of 2016, the iPhone is the leading phone model in market share in the United States with a 40% market share, but it's just a relative plurality as Samsung is not far behind with a 31% market share. Despite this, it would seem that the iPhone in Hollywood has a 90% market share, and you will be hard-pressed to see a Samsung or other Android-based phone in American media. However, Apple apparently has a rule when lending out equipment that villainous characters may not be seen using iPhones or any other Apple product.note - according to Rian Johnson, this became a minor headache when making Knives Out, because if everyone except the killer was using an iPhone it would be obvious for everyone in the know who had, in fact, dunnit - so in the end no one got an iPhone.. See also iPhony, where a parody or Expy is used instead. Americans Hate Tingle is a possible aversion of this trope. Note that this is effectively an Enforced Trope for shows on Apple TV+, since the programs are an effective way for Apple to promote their products free of charge. Shows like Ted Lasso and The Morning Show have plenty of scenes where their characters are seen typing away on Macs and using iPhones, often with the logo visible. |

In the shows that came out prior to The Defenders (2017), everyone uses whatever the latest model of Samsung Galaxy phone was out when that show was filmed. In Daredevil (2015), Matt Murdock, Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Wilson Fisk, James Wesley and other characters all seem to use Galaxy S4s or S5s. In Jessica Jones (2015), Jessica uses a Galaxy S5. In Iron Fist (2017), Danny Rand and Ward Meachum have Galaxy S7s. In The Defenders (2017), Karen Page uses a Galaxy S7 Edge, as does Dinah Madani in The Punisher (2017). There are rare exceptions like Misty Knight, who is an iPhone user. | |

Macs are fairly prominent on The Simpsons, usually coming from "Mapple", although Apple Computer has occasionally been mentioned over the years. It goes as far back as in "Homer Defined" from Season 3, when the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is close to a meltdown and the employees begin looting, one of them is seen with a Macintosh SE all-in-one desktop.) Whenever one of the family is using a desktop, it appears to be an iMac with a colored casing. In many earlier cases, it's based off an iMac G3, which often came in color casings, but in more recent seasons the iMacs are based off flat panel designs. In Season 7's "Homer the Smithers," Waylon Smithers is shown to be using an early 90s-style Mac desktop. In recent seasons, Lisa is often shown to have her own flat-panel iMac desktop computer in her room. In "The D'oh-cial Network", Springfield Elementary's computer lab is shown to still be using colored iMac G3s and Apple Lisa desktops. In "Yellow Subterfuge," Bart can be seen at one point using Pro Movie on a laptop, which is a parody of Apple's Final Cut Pro video-editing software. In many cases since the late 90s when a computer operating system is shown, it's usually based off Mac OS 8 or OS 9. This continued even long after Apple actually dropped support for Mac OS 9 in 2002, although recent seasons have often shown an operating system resembling the modern Mac OS being used. |

Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad: Everyone Owns A Compaq. Almost certainly not a Product Placement deal, not for a Follow the Leader job on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers on even more of a shoestring budget. In The '90s Compaq were a big name in corporate IT, a lot like Dell are now, and sold their hardware in bulk. Chances are the showrunners simply called the helpdesk number and asked if they could borrow a few spare workstations for filming. | |

iCarly does the same thing as So Damn Bright, below. Also, if the product is named in dialogue, they'll stick "pear" in the name somewhere—e.g., PearPod, PearPhone, or iPear. As do all of the other shows created by Dan Schneider. But it originated on Drake & Josh And if they show an antagonist, such as Nevel, using aforementioned devices, don't expect them to have a PearPhone, PearPod etc.. |

The main conflict of Summer Wars involves an AI that hacks into a virtual world that controls every corner of the Internet and the world governments. The AI started as an experiment by one of the principle characters, Wabisuke, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. ...guess what kind of phone he has. Carnegie Mellon University has a deal with Apple in Real Life, though, dating back past The '80s. Otherwise, this is an aversion; geekier characters—Kenji, his nerd buddy, and Kazuma—all use PCs, and Wabisuke's iPhone is the only one out of a whole lot of flip-phones. | |

In House of Cards (US), the government and media appear to run exclusively on iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes, with Frank's Blackberry being the only notable exception. This is interesting as the real government is very heavily reliant on Windows, usually two or three versions out-of-date. | |

The commentary for the season 1 DVD of Peep Show specifically notes averting this trope, despite pressure from the art department to put in a Mac simply because it looks more attractive. Ironically, the stars, Mitchell and Webb, also do the UK version of Apple's "I'm a Mac / I'm A PC" campaign. Fittingly it was Mitchell (who plays the I'm a PC to Webb's I'm A Mac) who made the comments on the commentary. He also noted disapprovingly about about their previous show The Mitchell And Webb Situation using this trope on the commentary to that show. |

On 24, the good guys usually use Macs and the villains PCs. For one who knows 24's penchant for putting the product of the company who pays the most (Ford) in the hands of the good guys, it's easy to tell why. Reportedly, 24 uses Macs due to star Kiefer Sutherland being a loyal Mac user and a popular Apple Store customer. |

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has everyone use Macs. It actually came out of the fact that Konami didn't want to use a generic MP3 player and asked Apple if they could use the iPod. Snake even gets to equip an iPod with a wide selection of tunes found strewn across the levels or unlocked with the password feature, many of them from older titles in the series and some new ones. | |

Fuller House appears to be primarily sponsored by Apple, given how Apple products run rampant in the show. But most notably, Macs are often seen in the show- with the fifth episode proudly showing Facetime running on a Macbook, and Stephanie's laptop being shown to be a Macbook with the signature glowing Apple logo on the back of the LCD panel. The parent series Full House did show that DJ had a Mac Plus in her room, though she very rarely (if ever) used it. |

On Seinfeld, a Mac could usually be seen on the desk in Jerry's apartment. It got upgraded from time to time, too. Actually possibly a justifiable representation, i.e. not this trope, because as a reasonably well-off "creative" type (a standup comedian) Jerry is exactly the sort of person who you'd expect to own a Mac at that time. |

In Young Wizards, Dairine's Wizard's Manual starts out as a phone book–sized portable Apple IIIc (a fictitious hybrid of the Apple IIc and Apple III), but repeatedly upgrades its own hardware until it ends up being a sleek Mac notebook. On the one hand, the computer was substituted for the one Dairine's parents (non-techies) thought they were buying for the family. On the other, the computer's fake-Apple logo (the fruit silhouette without the missing bite) apparently became standard issue. So... yeah. |

The Net (1995): Besides the fact that no hacker worth her salt would be using a Mac in the 1990s, every computer runs Mac OS 8. The scene at the convention center looks like MacWorld.note Because it was the MacWorld Expo with all the convention-identifying signage taken down. Given that said convention center was explicitly stated to be the Moscone Center, home of MacWorld Expo. |

Everyone on 30 Rock uses Apple products. Jack has an iMac on his desk most of the time and seemingly all the characters carry iPhones. With the possible exception of Jack—who is a high-powered business executive—this makes a certain amount of sense, as (again) 30 Rock is set in the creative industry (specifically television production, and even more specifically NBC. Since the whole series is Tina Fey writing what she knows, it might actually be realistic. | |

Jurassic Park (1993): The park's supercomputer network was based on the Connection Machine CM-5, at the time the badassest of the badass supercomputers (which makes it a sensible choice from a story point of view versus the Crays of the original book), and has vast numbers of Blinkenlights (making it visually awesome and therefore an ideal movie prop). However, Dennis Nedry's terminal runs on a Mac. There's the number of SGI workstations that show up, which was what the production crew used to create the film's CG. The unintentionally hilarious line "It's a Unix system; I know this" comes as the character is looking at a graphical user interface, something Unix is famous for not having; this particular GUI happens to be a real SGI file browser. With SGI's Product Placement in many other movies of this era, this trope could have been called "Everyone Owns an SGI Workstation." Having one on your desk was even more implausible than with Macs of the era, as Unix workstations were usually relegated to scientists, engineers and CGI animators. |

The characters of FoxTrot have, possibly, owned Apple computers since day 1. An early storyline had Andy buying a Mac to replace the Apple II that Jason kept hogging playing games (quite literally "a computer for the rest of us"). In the early '90s, this was quietly replaced with an unspecified desktop box that resembled an early Quadra or Performa. Then in 1999, another storyline was dedicated to Andy buying an "iFruit" family computer, specifically to keep Jason from playing PC games. Since then, Jason has been seen using a modern-style iMac. Of course, the creator, Bill Amend, is a huge Mac fan, as is Jason's mother, Andy Fox (a columnist). The strip's geekier characters (Jason, Marcus, Eileen...) clearly aren't. | |

In the finale of Antitrust, the Synapse broadcast is done with a PowerBook G3. It's fitting when you consider how the movie is a feature-length Take That! at Apple's chief rival, but it makes less sense when you remember that the film is about computer hackers (who, as stated above, don't use Macs), and that the Product Placement goes against the film's pro-open source message (Mac OS is hardly open source software). On the other hand, Apple does support open-source development from time to time (it released it's Darwin kernel and Swift compilers as open-source, as well as it's CUPS printing system, which has become the new standard on Linux and BSD machines), and several Mac OS X components (ie Perl, emacs) originated from the open-source community. | |
