Apples next iPhone to cost £2000 to pay for all the cockups and legal issues they have gotten themselves into this year.

Probably sarcasm on your part, but in case it isn’t, Apple’s legal fees are negligible compared to the vast sums in their coffers.

Additionally, the goal isn’t always to win cases outright or quickly, or even to win at all. Stalling, settling, or simply losing and paying the problem away, are all available tactics for Apple that in most cases have no effect on their bottom line or on their prices.

You mean like Samsung did in the Apple vs Samsung case? I have to think that Samsung was purposely stalling and dragging the case out to waste as much time and money from Apple's as possible. 

Sure. It’s all part of the game. They can do whatever they like in court, but it’s the products that speak for themslves, and the particular reptuations that both tech giants have earned as a result.

The case has no merit. Once Apple references a bona fide safety issue in connection with this the lawsuit is dead in the water.

The most they can be nailed on is a lack of transparency, but that would depend on whether the user experience might be impacted drastically notwithstanding the safety component, which I suspect is negligible given other factors that would contribute to slower performance of older phones anyway. 

Real artists ship.

From strength to strength.

Nice to see Mac sales on the higher side, too.
