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

The same can be said about any crime though, right? If you’re found guilty of murder, they drop the alleged and you’re just a murder. If you successfully appeal, then the title is dropped.
