Of course Apple doesn't have to pay anything if Apple wins the appeal.
In any case, I was simply providing a synopsis of the part of the article relevant to the question in the OP.

It's very rare for a case to be overturned on appeal and simply dismissed out of hand, most of the time it gets sent back to the original judge with instructions, though there have been cases where it is sent to a different judge (major slap in the face for the original judge since it says that the original judge had lost his or her impartiality).
There are a few things that happen when an appeal is upheld and sent back to the original judge. Either the case is simply dismissed, a new trial is held or some sort of settlement is reached.
