It turns out that much of the riff-raff surrounding a mobile phone device from the Mac-maker was completely misplaced. Yes, the iPhone is officially real today, but it’s not from Apple – The iPhone was announced today by Linksys as its new line of VoIP devices.
It seems as though all the rumors proved absolutely false and the iPhone actually has nothing to do with Apple at all. As for the “i” in front of the name? Cisco, who owns Linksys, has had the copyright to this usage since before Apple began using it. It’s easy to understand why the rumors began though.
