[...] As further evidence to the authenticity of GearLive’s leaked iPhone 1.1.3 firmware photos and videos that were leaked over the weekend, Hrmph.com dug up a patent application that was published in August of last year that clearly shows Apple describing how one might allow rearrangement of icons on a mobile device, and specifically describes varying the positions (wobbling) of the icons to indicate that the icons may be moved by the user.Hrmpf compiled an animated gif demonstrating this wobbling effect, which looks identical to the 1.1.3 demo video.

The animated GIF below (put together from the patent application diagrams – props to Hrmpf!) matches up perfectly with what Gear Live showed us recently. [...]

[...] Analysis of what’s in and what’s missing from the leaked iPhone v1.1.3 firmware continues in earnest, with the current state of thought being that while the software Gear Live have acquired is seemingly legitimate, it may not in fact be in its final form.Â Authenticity for the as-yet-unannounced v1.1.3 gained support from some patent-digging over at hrmpf.com, who managed to match up the ‘wiggling’ icons and rearrangeable Home screen to a previously granted Apple patent; compare their animation (constructed from patent illustrations) with the video Gear Live released: [...]
