James Bond's No Time to Die phone is probably not as good as yours

James Bond has had a pretty rough year. With the release of No Time to Die delayed approximately 700 times in the last twelve months (leaving it open to an inevitable slew of 'No Time to Release' jokes), fans have started to wonder if they'll ever see the film. And now, it seems 007 is about to face his most formidable villain yet – his sponsors. 

Bond films aren't exactly subtle about product placement, which is causing a rather unique problem for No Time To Die's featured brands. With every passing month, it becomes less likely that the inevitable close-ups will reveal Daniel Craig to be holding one of the best camera phones of this year, or even last year.
