The order is only that they can’t import them into the US with this feature enabled. The sensor is still on it and been disabled in software.

The actual case around the patent infringement is still going through the courts and if I understand correctly nothing has been decided with that.

Could apple publish a way for US customers to themselves re-enable the feature? If publishing software is a first amendment right, then I don’t see any legal way to prevent them from doing this.

I would really love to see Apple providing explicit instructions on how to jailbreak their own devices
