Apple went with Cingular as its exclusive carrier for the iPhone. This annoucement was made Jan 9th along with the mention of changing its name to Apple, Inc. No doubt that today’s announcement from AT&T that it will phase out the Cingular brand came as a surprise to Apple as well. I’m sure part of the reason Apple chose Cingular was due to the brand recognition…the YOUNG and HIP (hip?) brand recognition…that Cingular developed over the years. The brand was hailed by some as a savior to AT&T Wireless customers particularly in the realm of customer service.
