Shortly after Apple released iOS 6 last month, Switzerland's Federal Railways service accused Apple of copying its iconic clock design and said it would push for "a legal, as well as a financial solution."
Now, just three weeks later, Apple has apparently given into pressure and signed a licensing agreement with the Swiss company in order to continue using the clock icon on its mobile devices.
"The Swiss Federal Railways SBB and Apple have reached an agreement on the use of the SBB station clock on devices like iPad and iPhone," the company said in a press release (translated through Google.) The terms of the agreement were not disclosed in the release.
The original clock (seen above on the right) was designed in 1944 and is viewed as emblematic of the Swiss company and Switzerland.
