I'm guessing this is because they no longer view HTC as a rival and plan to purchase all their patents.

      As a HTC one X and fan this is great news.

      Both can then fight laggy Phone 7.5 & 8
      with patent sues.

                  Apple need to stop the sue madness. It is ruining their company image. Their neverending court battles gets more headlines than their products!

                          Apple's statement should have gone along the lines of:
                          ... We can now focus on more lawsuits on the rest of the companies...
