And Apple is no stranger to bogus patents (eg the infamous round corner patent)

  That is a design patent that falls in the same category as the shape of a coke bottle and are related to ornamental design on an object that has practical utility. They fall in a different subsection of patent law than the way to implement something. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_patent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_patent
