From my experience the filer has to do research into prior art and report on
it.

Apple doesn't have to do anything of the sort. Prior Art research is the
oenus of the patent examiner. Once issued, its EXTREMELY hard to get a
patent invalidated or cause reexamination. That would be up to the alleged
infringer to prove in a court of law, however, meanwhile, an injunction is
filed, you can't ship product, and your legal fees skyrocket. You may get it
overturned, however, again, at expense of the alleged infringers $$$$$$.
Sometimes it may come down to cross-licensing terms, or whoever has the
largest legal budget.
Simple has nothing to do with anything. "The first to reduce to
practise" is the key term in the US.
Now to make things more interesting. The EPO, European Patent office,
rules on FIRST TO FILE, not first to reduce to practise.
At any rate. Patent defense, as well as potential litigation thereof, is
just a lot of $$$$$$$ going to legal firms.

You will probably find that Apple would not want to try and defend many of
their patents, just on the grounds that they would not pass the "prior art"
test.
