I think Apple patents everything they can find to avoid lawsuits. The patents they've actually used in a product are the ones the filed against Android manufacturers. It's hard to take any of the patents seriously. Usually the new tech that Apple introduces are patents filed very close to when the product is publicly released so no one is aware of the feature. Even when they show new features that come from these patents it's never quite the same as what those illustrations show.
