I suppose the truly appropriate thing would be for NYC to agree never to make computers, phones, or mp3 players to avoid confusion, then 30 years later start making computers, phones, and mp3 players and then Apple sues them and somehow loses.

Apple Records (Corps) did not win the case because of this section in the original agreement:
4.3 The parties acknowledge that certain goods and services within the Apple Computer Field of Use are capable of delivering content within the Apple Corps Field of Use. In such case, even though Apple Corps shall have the exclusive right to use or authorize others to use the Apple Corps Marks on or in connection with content within subsection 1.3(i) or (ii) [the Apple Corps catalog and any future music], Apple Computers shall have the exclusive right to use or authorize others to use the Apple Computer Marks on or in connection with goods or services within subsection 1.2 [Apple Computer Field of Use] (such as software, hardware or broadcasting services) used to reproduce, run, play or otherwise deliver such content provided it shall not use or authorize others to use the Apple Computer Marks on or in connection with physical media delivering pre-recorded content within subsection 1.3(i) or (ii) (such as a compact disc of the Rolling Stones music)
The two companies have since come to trademark agreements and the Beatles catalog should be offered as soon as Paul MacCartney's divorce is finalized.
