Indeed, and ultimately the courts may find that it's use is entirely appropriate. Equally it's entirely within Apple's rights to challenge it's use.

I was just about to post on another thread the word photo's as the plural of photo, then thought better of it as I might be censured by the spelling police. The reason for the apostrophe was because photo is an abbreviation of photographs. Is this wrong?

Technically, you're correct. However, "photo" has become accepted as a word in its own right, so the apostrophe is not required any more. It's a similar situation to "phones". Officially, that should be preceded by an apostrophe to indicate that the "tele" prefix has been skipped (i.e. 'phones ), but "phone" is such a common word that there's no need for the apostrophe any more.

(Some of us do accept that language evolves - we just like it to happen gradually)
