Joke is great but raises a serious (well, non-joking) question.

iDrive is a brand used by a German car company (BMW? Audi?).

When the iPhone launched, it turned out after launch that Cisco owned the trademark.

When Apple got going they had a trademark dispute with Apple Records (the Beatles' publishing company) which was easily settled as Apple in California was clearly a computer company....until decades later they launched Apple Music.

So...your joke may not be off the mark.
