Without the Agency model Apple would never have been able to gain market share against Amazon. The DOJ attack was predictable given the obvious price-fixing inherent the model. The good news for Apple, they were successful in getting buyers to purchase from the Apple Store rather than Amazon. That's all they cared about. Those buyers will now stay with Apple no matter the outcome of the litigation, which will be viewed by Apple management as the cost of buying market share.
