Note that there is already a bank called Apple Bank [0] and a software product called iBank [1]. So what are they going to name their hypothetical Apple-computer-financial-institution?

There was a Cisco IPhone[1] before there was an Apple iPhone, Apple somehow made it work[2]. Apple Computers had also signed an agreement[3] with (the Beatles') Apple Corp in the 80's not to enter the music business, but they did[4] and also made it work[5] after breaching the agreement. Having piles of money can solve a lot of disagreements

Well, they could just buy applebank and ibank. There's quite a bit you can do with $0.1 trillion dollars.

I am pretty sure Apple has enough pocket change to buy both of them with their morning coffee.

They could just tell them to change their names, "It's not that big a deal."
