Product placement

iPhone 4s: it ACTS as the device being operated and updated. Removing it would change what happens in the video. iOS 7: it ACTS as the operating system being updated on the iPhone. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Apple: it APPEARS as a logo on the iPhone and is mentioned in the caption. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
