The reporting is confusing. The legal filing linked didn’t mention special deal. Page 7 details Apple’s argument on this point, which seems fairly factual. You can search text for “special deal”. Nothing turns up. The special deal language instead comes from an unlinked declaration from Phil Schiller. It is unclear if this is actually a court filing. It may simply be a document Apple distributed to the media. If anyone can source that quote to an original document I’d appreciate it.
