Well, no. Samsung won the SCOTUS decision last year that cancelled out Apple's hometown jury's absurd design patent award. The case was sent back to the district court for damage-only re-trial where Apple's hometown jury awarded even more money to Apple.
Apple clearly had no desire to settle, but Samsung clearly saw that there was no way that they could get a fair trial like they did in non-US courts around the globe. Samsung probably ended up paying slightly less the amount the last jury awarded, plus some humiliating terms and conditions.
