Using an Apple product for a website?! Law question

GuaveMedia

Hey guys,

am I allowed to make professional photos from my Apple products and then use the images for a website? I see a lot
of websites using Apple products for their design. I didn't find any clear information yet.

Any help would be awesome, thanks!

I read this but I don't understand all. Can you help me out?

I would suggest contacting Apple via the contact link on that page.
If anyone should be explaining this to you, it should be Apple, not someone on GameSalad.

It's pretty clear to me. You may not without written consent from Apple. I guess people either get consent or just take the risk of being sued by Apple.
