You all know that Apple has sued many manufacturers of Android terminals and all with the idea of defending certain patented technologies worldwide. In order to ensure that Apple does not call them to court, some Android terminal manufacturers have started to get inventive and those from TheVerge he shows us in the video clip above how things have changed. First, we are presented with the patent generically known as the "scrollback patent" which displays the area below the menus in iOS when we reach the edge of a screen. In many Android terminals, this scrollback no longer exists and when scrolling to the edge of a screen, either a color is displayed or the entire menu is divided into pieces. To be honest, I liked HTC's implementation the most because the rest seem extremely trivial.
From scroll back we move on to slide to unlock, a patent that was used by Apple against many manufacturers of Android terminals and which in some cases managed to cause enough headaches for those manufacturers. In the new terminals presented at the Mobile World Congress 2012, the slide to unlock disappeared and was replaced by other methods of unlocking the devices, some of them extremely interesting. The idea is that the manufacturers of Android terminals can be inventive if they are forced to do so, and there was no need for lawsuits if they did so from the very beginning.
