The Legality of using the sounds off an iPhone?

Hey does anyone know the legal issues with using iphone sounds on a feature?  I have a fair amount of characters who are using iPhones in this film and I was hunting around for royalty free SFX to fill in the "text received", text sent, ring tone, picture snapshot sound, etc and was wondering about using apple's stock sounds straight from the phone?

Are there legal issues with doing this?

Thanks for any advice,

John

An update:  YES, it's pretty damned easy to do apparently.  

Here's what you do:  Email  permissions@apple.com 

Here's what I sent them:  

The name of the film.

A brief description of the film's plot,

What sounds I was planning to use (Receiving and Sending Text sound(s), Receiving Email sound, Taking picture sound, the click sound when you type, and the incoming phone call ring tone).

They issue you a request ticket number and pass it onto the team that approves the requests.  Pretty simple.  

However, I haven't heard back from them yet...
