Correct me if I’m wrong....but Apple likely expended at least a hundred million bucks in legal costs, lawyers, experts, etc....to get to this point. So of the $120 million in fines....they really make just $20 million off this effort?

You're not wrong. Apple would have appreciated the full $2.2 Billion plus a finding of willfully infringing, which would have trebled the award, but face it, does Apple really need the money? What Apple wants is the verdict. . . and later an injunction. . . Pointless as that will be against antique phones and tablets no longer on the market.
