If I'm not mistaken, US courts have already upheld Apple's contention that (buy making both their own hardware and software) their products are closed systems. They retain full, legal control over all access to it.
Let's look at real events. They were already sued by a hardware manufacturer that wanted to sell their own desktops with a kit that allowed the installation of OS X. Apple had them shut down and put out of business.
The ruling was that Apple, by way of building closed systems, have full control over everything.
