Comment on Place the App Store badge first in the lineup of badges

Exactly what I'd expect. There's also:

Don’t refer to Apple devices generically as "smartphones" or "tablets."
Don’t list Apple products that are not compatible with your app.
Don’t display a blank screen on an Apple product, or on a television screen when showcasing Apple TV.
The status bar [...] should show a full network icon [...], a full Wi-Fi icon, and a full battery icon.

And:

Don’t feature the Apple logo to take advantage of the promotional value of the Apple brand.

But:

Don’t obscure or cover the [Apple] logo.

It's really treading a fine line between the two, figuring out what exactly is allowed.

Some of the guidelines are even more neurotic:

Always typeset [iPod] touch with a lowercase t.
For [iPhone XR/XS] headlines and copy, use an uppercase X, small cap S, and small cap R
Don’t use the word "watch" or "time" as a pun or verb in your marketing materials.

And the final gem:

    Don’t break Apple
    Watch over two lines.
Oops.
