Apple can suck it.
They have so many patent suits and countersuits flying back and forth with other companies its a circus you shouldn't bother paying any attn to. This will get appealed.
Apple's so fucking retarded they sued THEIR OWN CPU CHIP SUPPLIER. Their own *single source* chip supplier. To the iPad and several iPhone models. Yep. Samsung. For patent violations. On a chip that, oh oops, wait, Samsung co-developed. Pulled out their lawsuit dong for some lawyer fapping, and then oops, whats that? Wait what? oh wait, yeah, we better start looking for another chip supplier right about now. What do you mean nobody else has a chance of producing these chips without paying Samsung for the rights, nor could they produce them in the QA batch volumes we'd need to maintain production? Oh. Who's that on line one? Samsung? How long do they want me to suck their dick? Ok, tell my secretary to get the Chapstick. The big tub.
Apple's also tried to sue companies claiming they invented the black rectangle. The black rectangle. All phones shaped like a black rectangle are infringing on Apple's intellectual property, because, you know, just forget that Xerox shit from the 60s/70s, apple invents everything they've ever made into a product. Just like the black rectangle. I mean, its not like, oh, oh wait, wait whats that? What....
