It would make sense that an iPhone would appear on the show. After all, it's an ABC show. ABC is owned by Disney. Disney, through it's aquisiton of Pixar, has Steve Jobs as it's largest single shareholder. (Kinda weird that Disney buys Pixar and in essence, Apple now owns Disney). His stake is worth about $10 billion now.
I agree with the above comment that this is some sort of marketing ploy in essence by apple but he is completely wrong in his corporate ramblings, Apple do not own disney in any way shape or form steve jobs in the largest individual shareholder with 6% of the shares but that is him personally and 6% of the stock dont give you ownership or control of the company and this 6% stake at the current price of around $35 a share, makes approx 2.1 billion dollars, not 10 billion! some difference lol So roughly apple dont own disney and if DJ counts Steve's cash for him he's in for a rough day and about an 8 billion dollar loss!!!!!
