Apple seriously? Come on now!
What exactly are you trying to prove here that you are different from Android and that you guys can be "dicks"? That was personally unnecessary, you guys didn't have to patent that everyone knows that "slide to unlock" is an iPhone thing. Waste of time Apple. You guys should be making amends with Flash so we can actually surf the web on our mobile device without getting rerouted to another version of that site or not being able to see that site at all.
They applied for this patent in 2009, but I personally feel like that they shouldn't have done this because that isn't important. Why does Apple feel like this is important? Are they trying to be extremely different to the point where no can officially copy a sliding effect without going through a lawsuit?
Their reason for doing this is because they felt like their mobile competition was stealing their ideas of development. So the patent was in order to save their ideas and product from infringement. Well they have done it now, although, I feel like it wasn't necessary in a way, but I sort of understand why. If I had a company like so I would want to lock my shit down too!
Dick move and a waste of complete time, but understandable.
