    TheNeighbor, 06 Feb 2014LOL. You mean what iOS can't do... http://thedroideffect... moreJust look at number 69 and see how much ridiculous this horrible article is.By the way I can have multiple accounts of Gmail on my iPad and number 68 is ridiculous too because the back buttons are touch and really easy to use.And this ridiculous article compares iPhone 5s with all of the Android phones in the world.Because there are great Android phones that they don't support removable battery or Micro SD slot.Number 29 is wrong too because I restore my backups on my iPad a lot with iTunes really easily.It seems that the author of this article doesn't know very much about iOS and he's repeating what he heard in the past.No matter it's wrong os wrong.

          judging by these comments it appears the average age of users on gsmarena is somewhere around 8 years old....

                But what goes around comes around and Apple are the least qualified to call foul

                That aside years ago when Smart & phone were two separate words and PRIOR to Nokia going from strength to strength and Apple was just a fruit.....

                Patent trolling reminds me of web domain registering so individual JOHN DOE came along and registered say BRADPITT.COM etc, it was ruled then they had NO right etc, to that domain

                This is a car company and emergency services... it shows what some will buy to hold others to ransom
                Apple should feel perfectly at home in a court of law…. again

                        Yippee! This is the best news this year. What goes around comes around. Apple totally deserve this. They started all this and now it comes back to bite them in their own backside. When you stick your hands in a wasps nest in a busy room don't exprect only those around you to get stung, you will too, as Apple have now found out the hard way. ROFL!

                            Anonymous, 06 Feb 2014Capacitive multi-touch screens didn't exist on mobile until... more1) Capacitive touch screens weren't used on mobiles before Apple did it: correct. But capactive touch screens were used elsewhere, so them patenting the idea of using it on a mobile is lame patent IMHO. As I said, it's like seeing wheels used on cars, trains, and bikes, and going out and getting a patent for using them on roller blades.

                            2) Multitouch, likewise, was not invented by Apple. I saw demo's of multitouch in 2003, with pinch to zoom and everything. Again, they were just the first to put it on a phone. It was an obvious idea, if they didn't do it then someone else was going to, the technology was being born at that time.
