Apple Patents "Slide to Unlock" – Android Phones in Trouble?
- pedalpete 15y agoI wonder how the Apple "Slide to Unlock" patent will affect the Windows Phone slide up unlock action. I'd argue that the Windows action is easier and a nicer interaction. If you haven't used it, you don't have to actively stretch a slide from one side of the device to the other. A 'flick' up the screen is enough to unlock the device. Though I wonder if patent law will see a difference between a 'flick' and a 'swipe'?
