Their latest US patent, 8,082,523, is for multitasking while using a handset's phone app. Technically there are some additional details, such as using a touch gesture and displaying an icon for switching to another application, but that's really just specifying that it applies to a standard ...

What's next? Apple patents the color of the moon for the iPhone 9? They've run out of unicorn for the white color.

This BS from Apple is hurting the end user really bad. I don't think they have thought of patenting the smartphone itself. APPLE YOU ARE FULL OF BS!!!

Apple can suck it, their iPhone will lose popularity once everyone has had at least one iPhone as their mobile.
I do not appreciate them patenting software that is open source.

APPLE is trying to patent MULTITASKING??? They were the last to the table with MultiTasking!!!
I think I will patent calling a phone an "iPhone"...after all, it was the last person to think of it that gets the patent, right?

This is ridiculous and completely anti-consumer. I would ask when our government would wake up to this but they're too well paid.
Next maybe apple can patent placing your hand in front of your face when you sneeze, or leaning to one side when you fart while sitting down.

Haha, this is impressive. Am I allowed to hope that whoever developed the idea for this patent meets an untimely death?
I swear, sometimes it must surprise even Apple, what patents they get through.

You are allowed to hope that trolls invade Mars, killing Santa in the process.

Probably better to just hope quietly...like when I hoped that the guy who said, "You are holding it wrong" would die a terrible and slow death.

I think I can run a patent up the chain really fast before the end of the year... it's reliant on the concept of hiccuping, farting, belching & sneezing at the same time. when done properly I have full belief that the space time continuum will stop, the fabric of space will rip & a traversible black hole will open up for at least two people to step through.
The individual that went through the gastrointestinal nightmare won't wear to well, but what the hell, this is science...
Wait a minute... CrApple shot me in the foot already... This is already a form of multi-tasking!

Please tell us more, I would love to hear your argument. With apple filing lawsuits at every turn, I'd appreciate another viewpoint.
If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

Watch out Apple might try to patent "holding it a different way to make it work".

...Or, "Insulting your customers to hide the flaws that you intentionally built into your product"
