> And if so, how much is impacting sales?

If it's impacting sales, it's positively impacting them, since sales have been growing year after year together with the legal attacks. People may still be seeing Apple as the Underdog? :)

Upvote to counter the downvote. I see no reason for downvoting here. People do like to see Apple as the underdog, even though some part of them realizes that headlines like "Apple Now Biggest-Ever U.S. Company" (WSJ) kind of contradict with the underdogginess.

Actually, they're quite a phenomenon. It's rare to witness an actual fanbase with a company. With this one, the fanbase is extraordinarily big and extremly devoted. This goes far beyond the usual fanboy-ism. People actually love their Apple products [1].
