I’m guessing they figured out they aren’t going to be able to bring it to market for a few more years, so they’ve decided to stop talking about it for now.
AT&T exclusivity was the best possible deal, at the time. Carriers dictated which phones they’d support. They were the primary obstacle to smartphones taking off, because you had to gamble on a three-year contract with some compromised gizmo loaded with telecom bullshit.
Steve Jobs was the first person stubborn enough to shove his way through that. Nobody got to force nonsense on his users, except him!

If all of your relationships end because of animosity between you and your partner, it may not be that your partners are the difficult ones.

I had the first unibody Macbook Pro. When it fell apart after 3 years I saw a video by Louis Rossman that made me realise they’re very poorly made.
They’re made to look good - not last. They are far from perfect.
‘Shitty-looking’ Lenovo Thinkpad’s are by far the better built laptop. Waterproof keyboards. Solid hinge mechanisms, etc.
