Technically, the request contains 62 pages of *proposed* prior art. It's quite possible, depending on the exact wording of the patent, as compared to the proposed prior art, that some/most of it doesn't actually apply.
You want a scary statistic? Something like 60% of patents that are challenged are invalidated. The current incentive/evaluation system at the USPTO is broken. Patent examiners are graded on how many patents they *approve*. (Not process. Approve.) If anything, patent examiners should be graded based on how many patents they *deny*.
The non-obvious requirement a patent application is supposed to be judged against has been perverted to mean "nobody has done *exactly* this before", not "given the state of the art in this industry, this would or would not be obvious to someone of ordinary skill in this industry".
As a result, far too many patents are granted, which are *neither* novel nor non-obvious. Processes are granted patents not because they're *new*, but because someone is the first to apply for a patent on that process on a computer, or over the internet, or on a mobile device, or over a wireless network.

Bingo.
Apple isn't the problem. Samsung isn't the problem. Google isn't the problem. Microsoft, Nokia, Motorolla, et al. aren't the problem. The problem is the process by which patents are *initially* evaluated. It isn't stringent enough, because patent examiners are flooded with applications, and they are graded on how many patents they *approve*.
Back when patents were first granted, you had to convince someone (the king or queen) that your invention was *worthy* of the monopoly a patent would grant. Now, you just have to obfuscate it enough that an over-worked patent examiner doesn't recognize it.
