iPhone

Portion used

While this image may depict a substantial portion of the iPhone's hardware and software, it conveys an insubstantial portion of the "iPhone experience": the way the interface interacts with the user, and the image does not store or display of the viewers' data. Therefore, the use of this image by the not-for-profit Wikimedia Foundation does not interfere with Apple's ability to market iPhone.

Low resolution?

Reasonably low without compromising informational value

Purpose of use

To illustrate iPhone in a way impossible to do in words for purposes of critical commentary, and to use Apple's desired representation of iPhone in Wikipedia. While it may be possible to depict hardware with non-fair use images, it is in Apple's own interest to avoid the inferior photographic quality, wear and tear (i.e. scratches) on the physical subject, and customized or otherwise modified software/interface, that typically accompany such photographs. Such photographs are less informative than those provided by Apple and are therefore the latter are more desirable on Wikipedia. Furthermore, for products that have not yet been released, or have just been released, it is very difficult or impossible to obtain a free image.

Replaceable?

No
