It matches this available data: Apple sure as hell gets rent from their patents. And you don't even have to buy Apple to give them this rent.

I'd like to see any significant report indicating that Apple is making serious money off its patents and is trying to push more into that business. Besides, patent agreements aren't exclusive to Apple; I'm sure a portion of my iPhone purchase is going to Microsoft.
And Google bought Motorola basically for its parents and then sold all of it off but it’s patrntd.
