If Apple decides to flagrantly break that law, what options does an individual consumer have? Is there a government agency that will fight on behalf of that consumer, or does the consumer have to hire their own lawyer?

Small claims court can cover up to at least $5,000 or $10,000 in most states, and is generally friendly to the layman or may even ban the use of trained lawyers in some locations.

They often don't bother - the cost of sending a representative is frequently greater than the cost of paying the judgement.

A representative, usually a regional customer service executive or analogous. They'll often try to deal out first (it may be small claims court's policy to try mediation first).

Maybe legal executives who have studied enough law but not entered the Bar (on purpose?).
