The Verge: Apple's first slide-to-unlock patent was granted in 2010, its second in 2011, and on cue version 3.0 was just dropped on us. US patent number 8,286,103 issued yesterday and, as expected, it's even broader than the first two.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.
Ringing the changes: All the news, rumors, and tips you missed last week.
Apple is anticipated to announce the new OLED iPad Pro this spring. Although there has been considerable speculation about the product, it’s always reassuring when Apple officially confirms certain features through upcoming software updates.
I've fixed the images on some of these past submissions of yours. Please in the future make sure the image isn't broken on submission.( I always found it best to download/upload it to be honest. )
I think Google should Patent their Notification Bar... And anything else they make from this day forward. Because Apple is getting retarded with this crap.
Like I commented before...any and all other companies need to dog pile on Apple with whatever patent claims they have no matter how obscure they may be. Maybe Apple would take the hint when the cumulative court costs start adding up.
Patents should be licenses. If something is like this and so general, then fine you "patent it" and don't have to pay to use it. However everyone else can pay an upfront 200 dollar fee TO THE PATENT OFFICE NOT APPLE to use it.
It's very general, It's using an idea already on the table, it isn't doing much of change and isn't anything new.
Honestly who is approving Apples patents? They need to be fired.
