If Apple was in this to save money they wouldn't have taken this to court in the first place, they got caught with their CEO and most senior executives overtly participating in price fixing. Now Apple is quite literally spending more money in legal fees than they can possibly save to argue about "excessively" high legal fees. Apple will spend millions to try and make a point, this is just more of the same.
