I always thought it was a copyright thing. "My Phone" is too close to "iPhone"
Exactly what I want on my computer, an inconsistent experience due to some corporate bullshit
Fun fact: The iPhone name is owned by Cisco not Apple.
They own "iOS" (though written with all capital) and license it to Apple iirc
They owned ‘iPhone’ specifically.
They also both basically said “we can both use it.” Granted Apple probably paid a nice sum for that

Oh yea that's right they did that too lmao
Return to iPhoneOS
(It makes sense tho there's macOS, iPadOS, and iPod Touch is long gone)
:( don't remind me, first and last Apple Mobile device I'll own
That’d be trademark, not copyright.
