It's not just you. But I think that is because of the amount of lawsuits Apple has to defend against (they get sued over 40 times a year by NPEs, the most of any operating company) and the reality that many of those do not involve strong cases/patents. This recent case involved pager-era patents. Add to it that Apple has virtually unlimited resources, political clout, strong public support among US consumers (potential jury members), and so on and so forth.

Apple has settled several cases out of court and they also have lost some really big disputes (in particular vs Nokia, where they settled for a one time payment of over $700 million to Nokia for past usage and still to this day pay an ongoing royalty of ~1% on covered devices to Nokia).
