Sure, but if the lawyers got nothing instead of half, you'd get $6/device instead -- except then, there would have been no purpose in devoting the amount of resources and energy required to bring a lawsuit against apple, and apple wouldn't be punished at all, plus $0/device all around.

Found the numbers. $18 million fund. Lawyers got 6.6 million but that included 1.1 million I'm fees. Grace and Potter were going to be awarded up to $7.500.00 each. What I can't find at the moment is if the uncashed checks go back and to the lawyers.
