If anything by using Apple related photographs of their: laptops, iphones, ipads, etc... in our portfolios we are helping perpetuate and expanding their brand. Apple should be at least thanking us if not paying us for all of the free advertisement and product placement.

You're making a mountain out of a mole hole. Do you think Apple gives a shit about you using their image in a mock-up?

Go vector and switch it up a bit homey; customize for the look & feel of your site:

- What's the difference between this and a press image? Still an Apple product.MarleyMarl

I'm not avoiding your point at all. It's a very weak point, but I'll bite. I'm not looking to use an Apple product in a way that infringes on their intellectual property. I've merely designed some things for use on their devices and need some context when showing the work.
I really don't think other firms who show their work on an Apple monitor or iPad are violating Apple's copyrights. If an industrial design firm were passing an Apple product off as their own, then that would indeed be infringement. But we're not talking about doing anything of the sort.

imo sites that use a full computer to show a website aren't nearly as successful in showing said work as sites that show a website in a browser. plus if it's just web work, the work is tiny because the computer's there too.
and you can do it a little differently like syrup:
http://www.syrupnyc.com/work/spe…or use it when you're showing new media work across platforms like they do — iphone next to computer &c.
anways...just take apples hi-res images and 'shop the logo out if you're concerned about EULA.

Seriously?
1. I respect other people's rights, hence my question. I don't mind paying for a stock image, if such a thing is available. I just don't have time to shoot an image or hire a photographer.
2. Skinning a website or an app onto a monitor or iPad provides useful context. That's it, and that's all. For a company that designs for print as well as screen, this is helpful. I don't need Apple products to make myself or my work look good.
3. By your argument, nearly every design firm and agency in the world would be guilty of copyright infringement. From what I've seen, it looks like people are using stock images or renderings. Most firms I've seen are not actually shooting their own pictures of a monitor or iPad.But thanks for the snide remarks, it's very helpful.

Of course to use an iImage image on your site as a display frame infringes on Apple, but more importantly is a cheap ploy to use the Apple name to make yourself look good.
But i digress.
Can you recommend a large leather bound bible for me? I'm thinking of making a gun case out of it.

Where do you guys get high-res images for skinning websites and iPad apps? I went to Apple's press photo pages and their EULA looks like it would prohibit use on, say, a portfolio website.
I looked at LiveSurface and their computer screens are outdated. No iPad images.
I need something I can use without restriction on my new website.
