I doubt that. Eight figures is probably enough to for Apple to pay in house legal staff to stay locked in slow motion litigation with this guy for the rest of his life (or at least until he's exhausted his own financial ability to litigate).
This changes the whole game not in favor of Apple. And adds few zeros to the cost for Apple to try to wiggle out of this clean and not admit racist bias.
Welcome to america.
The white guy would get $10 off apple store offer from apple if he was lucky.

How is this even possible? Why don't judges recognize this obvious abuse and stop it?
Recognize? Probably. But it's easy for courts to come procedure bound and even feel like they're doing you a favor, e.g. "I gotta do this by the book so its not overturned on appeal."
They key probably isn't litigation, but more stories like this that paint Apple as having bad technology and/or racist employees...even if that's not exactly what happened.
