Reverse engineering for the purpose of interoperability is legal under DMCA.
TIL, that is very neat
That particular defense has historically been a little shaky. That said since it's a corporation that would be using it in this case instead of some random hacker (in the MIT sense) or Chinese company it would have a better chance of holding up in court.
I'm betting though that Apple won't even bother with trying a DMCA based suit, but rather will argue some kind of TOS violations.
