Sort of? Apple's appeal was essentially:
1. The federal court was asked by a single litigant to rule on whether this provision of our agreement with them is unfair.
2. Because the role of courts is to provide relief to the litigants of the case, this court has exceeded its authority by making a ruling against all agreements that Apple has with other parties.
I don't know that they necessarily expected to win on that claim, but it doesn't seem to be entirely without merit. There is risk in a world where courts can use individual cases to effectively act with executive and legislative powers.
