It’s “alleged” even though there’s a verdict against them? That can’t be right.

According to Bloomberg Law, Apple didn’t agree with the jury’s decision nor the damages and would appeal the verdict.
It’s alleged until the appeals stop, then it’s the final verdict

It’s only alleged until the verdict drops. Whether or not they appeal, they are currently found guilty of the crime, ergo, not “alleged”.
