(Open it in something that supports TIFF if your browser doesn't display it. Photoshop worked for me.)
In the un-cropped version you can see that the image is labeled #602. Here's the only part of the patent body where 602 is referenced:
For example, an interface such as interface 602 can be provided on
a user's electronic device. Through interface 602, a user can
search for and view information on the various airport services
available in the airport.
It might not have been proper for Apple to copy another company's work for illustration in their patent, but the copied UI is for illustration of one possible UI for the described app. IANAL, but it doesn't read to me like they're trying to claim invention of the UI.
