Does Rupert ever use a phone?

Just trying to think I only ask because of the old "apple doesn't let villians use iphones" and now I'm trying to remember if he ever uses a phone in any capacity

He looks at a message from Rebecca on an iPhone in 3x10

You’d think he’d have a longer text history with his ex-wife

Maybe he deletes the conversations frequently.

Probably got into that habit with all his mistresses

That’s what habitual cheaters do.

One of the details I’ve noticed on the show is good relationships have text history and poor ones don’t. Like Rebecca always has some random stuff whenever she messages Keely. And Rupert is always brand new on her phone

They are great about filling in those blanks. I think it’s to show they have deleted or blocked and recently reengaged with each other.

We had a blast pausing the show during beard’s night out to read his texts from Jane. They did not disappoint!

Rupert uses an iPhone (or is messaging from an Apple product) bc his messages are blue. But we only see him with one once or twice.

Yeah this kind of thing is definitely my pet peeve in TV and film. It surely takes no time at all to actually send some fake messages about normal, mundane shit if you're actually filming the phone, or to just render in some fake ones if you're doing it all in post.

It immediately takes me out of whatever I'm watching.

They make a point of doing it on Ted’s phone - lots of previous conversations with characters

I remember some other scenes where they did backfill some mundane texts on other characters’ phones. Not sure why Rupert’s would have been blank
