A DMCA takedown is inappropriate, as no copyright was circumvented. It was freely distributed (albeit briefly) on Apple's own website. A DMCA takedown at this point is entrapment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrapment.

That is not how copyright nor entrapment work. Somebody putting something on their website does not grant anybody a license to distribute copies. Filing a DMCA takedown is not entrapment.
