Apple Inc. has not publicly commented on this matter, and the outcome of any such request remains undisclosed.

The information comes from a recent trend summary, and the precise nature of the interaction, including whether it was a formal or informal suggestion, has not been elaborated upon. Consequently, details such as Apple’s response or any potential reconsideration of geographical naming conventions by the company are not available.
