Sure, and Nokia can mention that a few of their patents are going to become more expensive to license for the next iPhone...

But unless Apple insanely overestimates the threat from the RX-51, it makes no sense to turn down revenue from it. The Pre was obviously (to me, anyway) a much greater threat to Apple than the RX-51, so if they were going to play hardball on a patent, I think they'd have done it there already.
