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. So, in this
case, the judge has not by any stretch of the imagination ruled that
Apple have a valid claim. 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.
