 The reason for Apple losing all these lawsuits is Apple is unethical.
 Do you seriously think the recent settling with Apple for half a billion
dollars worth of outright fraud, is the DOJ "picking on poor old Apple"?
 Poor Apple commits fraud and has to pay a half billion dollars as a result.

 Poor trump has the same problem.

 Yes. Exactly. Every Trump crazy says poor old Trump is being picked on by
the people who enforce our laws and then when he loses, he blames them.
 Just like all those Apple crazies do when Apple loses its fraud cases.
 To them, since Apple paid a half billion dollars for the privilege of not
admitting guilt, to those crazies, that means Apple was wholly innocent.

"Innocent until proven guilty" ... since Apple (or any other company) wasn't actually found guilty in the court, then they have to be presumed to be innocent. As others have said, an out-of-court settlement is more usually simply the cheapest way to stop the morons who are suing them - it's not worth wasting billions of dollars in an on-going court case with numerous appeals when you can pay a couple of million and that's it.
The reality is that anyone with more than one braincell knows the sole reason for most of these idiotic court cases is just some greedy moron trying to grab some money for themselves from a big company. How many "winners" donate all the money to charities?? Pretty much none of them at all. It's no different to some homeless person throwing themselves in front of a rich guy's Rolls Royce and then claiming they were run over.
