iOS is a platform and I think it can be argued that platforms are stronger with generic implementations of things most people use. Apple doing this pre-dates Sherlock. The patent aspect is disturbing on the face of it becuase it seems to go beyond healthy competition. I would just argue that platforms should integrate generic features. We all sleep and why can't I get a taste of what a sleep monitor is like as seamlessly as possible. If Apple's built in platform has a better implementation than a company specializing in sleep monitoring I see it as raising the table stakes. Apple showed the world there was a market for an always connected capacitive touchscreen slab. The world keeps changing and what was once an App becomes a feature.
