can apple patent this?

Well, Apple's way is: Steal someone else's idea, patent it, sue others for using it. And because they pay billions to lawyers, they somehow manage to get away with it.
 
:shrug: i know lots of cameras advertise having 'face detection' but is it for focus only, or as in this case, exposure too? It does sound a bit bizarre that Apple can patent something that already appears on other devices [assuming they do exposure as well as focus] :thinking:
 
Joe...... Can you prove Apple actually steal things and pass them off as their own?

You've made a bold statement there and I don't want some of Apple's finest chucking letters at me because it's published on here. ;)

To be fair they're all as bad as each other, look at the apple vs Samsung battle in the news..

Haha, wouldn't surprise me if they did send over a letter :lol:

Well, they patented slide to unlock and tried to sue, yet it's been around for ages:

iPad shape yet THIS looks more like the iPad than the Samsung Tab does. Or that one from the film A Space Odyssey.

I could give more examples.
