It's a _preliminary_ injunction.
In such situations, I'm pretty sure that courts apply very unskeptical criteria to the question of merit. The main idea is to prevent harm to the litigating parties while the issues get heard in court.

She has merely ruled that their claim is credible enough on its face to warrant protection while being litigated to determine its merit.
That aside, Apple getting an injuction against a 7-month-old product that approaching EOL isn't much of a victory. One might call it almost Pyrrhic.
