I'm pretty sure this was a patent infringement lawsuit, so the statement that the "iPhone was a revolution" is irrelevant. Apple won a claim against Samsung for mimicking "bounce back" behavior among other patents.
Hopefully pull-to-refresh isn't patented. I'm not about to look either lest I be found willfully infringing.
- nirvana 14y ago>Apple won a claim against Samsung for mimicking "bounce back" behavior False. Patents don't cover features. Patents cover inventions. Apple won against samsung for copying apple's solution for how to implement a feature. Not for having that feature. This misrepresentation trivializes the nature of the patents and is ideologically driven. Don't fall for it. If you disagree, try reading the patent.
- blaines 14y agoI'll check it out. I remember seeing a number of patents involved in the case, just haven't read them. My comment was certainly a generalization.
- gnaffle 14y agoPull to refresh is patented by Twitter, and Apple has bought a license (apparently, since it'll apparently be implemented in iOS 6).
