It sounds like the anti-steerage rules are still in limbo—they have not yet taken effect while the appeal is ongoing, and the article doesn't indicate they're already officially set to take effect at a certain date.

Does someone more familiar with the process know if it's a guarantee now that Apple will be forced to comply with that part of the original ruling, or is there room for them to get it removed or postponed indefinitely?

The 9th Circuit stayed its mandate until the Supreme Court decided whether to grant cert. That stay expired this morning when the Supreme Court published its orders list.

The 9th Circuit’s mandate will now be sent down to the district court, and judgement entered (on just the anti-steerage provision) for Epic. It’s a done deal at this point.
