Actually, I think a cross-licensing deal is precisely what Apple is trying to avoid. There's no discernible reason for Apple to have not licensed Nokia's patents in the beginning, given what other licensees pay. So it seems likely that Nokia was looking for terms above and beyond what they ask from other licensees. Which, in this case, would almost certainly have included licenses to use some Apple-patented technologies.
