GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The schedule confirms the case will play out over roughly two more years, giving both sides extended time for discovery and legal maneuvering before any trial begins. Apple has already secured early procedural wins on expedited discovery, which could shape how much evidence becomes public well before the 2027 trial date.
