It seems, despite all of Apple’s bluster, the company was not confident enough to see their patent case with Nokia through after all.

The case, which involved fundamental GSM technology which everyone else except Apple licensed from Nokia, has been settled, it appears in Nokia’s favour, with Nokia getting a one-off payment and also undisclosed regular royalties.  All complaints between the companies have now also been dropped.
