What actually happened: We did no wrong ... but here have a free bumper

And of course this all happened out of pure love and altruism from Apple. Not like it had anything to do with a class action lawsuit or something...

Looks like the reality distortion field is still going strong, even post-Steve.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what does a lawsuit settled in 2012 have to do with an announcement made in 2010?

The outcome was predictable when it started. Apple's "full fledged keynote" was a maneuver to deflect PR damage.

And obviously they succeeded; Many people know about the keynote but don't know that it was an attempt to pre-empt a lawsuit.
