Apple and Cisco settled their dispute on February 20, 2007. Both companies will be allowed to use the “iPhone” name in exchange for “exploring interoperability” between Apple’s products and Cisco’s services and other unspecified terms
Seriously, they let it go for nothing. When did Apple and Cisco ever integrate products?..
Edit: Also it says they’re both allowed to use it. I would love to see Cisco come out with an “iPhone” in 2023 lol
Honestly, there would probably be far more backlash against them than benefit. But it would be hilarious.
I wonder if they got some help with early app development, or something. I’ve always avoided Cisco, so I don’t know if they offered any mobile management or monitoring tools early on.
No, it was actually iPhone:

Huh, I never heard of that one, I knew they licensed iOS.

I’m surprised Cisco let iPhone go so easily, considering the immediate popularity of the brand when Apple released theirs.
