> But a partisan aside about a judicial decision on a case between private parties is off topic

Surely politics has something to do with this decision? These things don't just happen in a vacuum. The judge presiding over this case was appointed by Barack Obama and generally government deregulation is something that Republicans advocate for.

I don't usually care about politics at all but is there any concrete evidence supporting either potential future administration being tougher on Apple? The previous president doesn't seem to like Apple very much, but at the same time the current administration's DOJ was responsible for filing the DOJ v. Apple lawsuit.
