From a real-world standpoint, Apple is very protective of its brand and may push back against the use of its phones in a Bond movie especially if they are to be modified. I’ve also long been an advocate of the stock Android Nokia uses for its phones, unfettering them with useless UI elements, and I’m sure a Q-Branch technician would relish this as a means to add custom MI6 features to the phone that wouldn't look out of place on the X20 when seen on the silver screen.ĭespite using an iPhone myself and fully accepting that the iPhone 15 is one of the easiest phones to recommend to most people, I can’t see Bond ever using an iPhone. But for Q, perhaps they could be reworked into some form of hidden X-ray scanner or electromagnetic detectors helping Bond find hidden fuses to primed bombs. These cameras are largely shrug-worthy for the garden variety user.

The Nokia X20 still offers four rear cameras, albeit two come in at 2-megapixels and are used for depth-sensing and macro photography. And given the austerity measures of the UK government, perhaps MI6 won’t have money to blow on high-end phones. It’s far from a flagship phone but still has plenty to offer for its budget price. Following on from the licensing angle, Nokia would make for another good phone partner to Bond given its phones featured in No Time to Die.
