well, it wouldn't be a felony, they don't own their apple id lmao

but it certainly wouldn't impress neither the prosecution, nor the judge

The act of retaliation is the part that's a felony dude, not banning someone's apple id.

NAL, but it would likely be enough for a felony obstruction of justice charge. Add to that, depending on specifics of Apple's legal response (and whether they throw the employee under the bus,) a CPAA charge for exceeding authorized access in a computer system.
