You really feel OK supposing that all Apple did for smartphones was swipe to unlock? Really? Like there was no difference in smartphones before iPhone and after

You really feel OK supposing that all Apple did for smartphones was swipe to unlock? Really?
Like there was no difference in smartphones before iPhone and after?
You are implying that all of Apples R&D was to patent swipe-to-unlock, and presto, iPhone is ready, because everything else was done by other companies?
One may hate Apple if he wants but this kind of twisting is just stupid.
- fpgeek 14y agoAll of the claims Apple is getting injunctions and import bans based on are nonsense like slide-to-unlock. You know the patent that is bedeviling HTC? It goes back to the Power Macintosh help system (and was anticipated by Netscape Navigator 2.0b1, among other things, most likely). You may be able to convince yourself that that was important R&D that went into the iPhone. I'd say Apple went rummaging through the files to find garbage to throw against the legal system, hoping some might stick. So far, it looks like their bet has paid off.
