      Oh well, since people are not really buying htc smartphones due to overhigh prices, low grade tech and stupid self righteous overcoolness, they don't have to worry about paying that much money to apple.
      They wanted to be the apple of the android army world, didn't they? Now they got some of that wish coming true. All that hate for overpriced and over'sensed' smartphones. Sense sucks and sucks more RAM than touchwiz and Sony UI put together. Htc bieber!!!!

                  All the money saved from litigation will neutralize this deal IF they are even paying. I don't think so but we will see.

                      Anonymous, 12 Nov 2012HTC is not really a big company. Check out the link and see... moreHTC is not alone, Apple wants to get money and robbery from all of great companies likes samsung, sony, nokia, etc. apple's goal is to rule the market, in this case at time lapse competition will end and there was no more innovation, somthing you saw on iphone 5, no innovation but there is still long lineup of peoples whose just be under propaganda.

                          HTC is not really a big company. Check out the link and see for yourself that the global share was/is a pretty much small number not even 3%. It looks like a marketing hype to show the world that there is a powerful company called HTC which can make settlement deals with Apple. HTC is a dying company on its way to its grave...
