Quartz:

Apple no longer exclusively owns the iPhone name in China. The California tech giant recently lost a trademark suit against a Chinese company, which now holds the right to make and sell handbags and other leather products branded “IPHONE.”

The Beijing Municipal High People’s Court rejected Apple’s appeal of the trademark dispute against Xintong Tiandi Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. on Mar. 31, state media Legal Daily reported (link in Chinese). The final judgement allows the Beijing company to brand leather products including handbags, purses, and cellphone and passport cases with the name “IPHONE.”

A surprising development after all these years.
