I read somewhere that like 90% of patent claims are software or tech hardware related. To me, the inadequacy of the patent system seems like an issue that Apple just took advantage of. Even Steve Jobs joked that Apple ripped off previous technologies.

Android still owns the majority of the smartphone market, and I'm pretty sure this will be tied up in appeals for years, so it's not like this is Apple taking over the world. I don't know the demographics, but it seems to me like the largest apple fanboys are upper middle class college age hipsters who just make a louder noise than everyone else.
