For sake of clarity,
both bothers me, but it's the fact that a trivial UI implementation detail can be patented and monopolized I consider fundamentally wrong.
That someone can build a 1 billion dollar beast on top of that, what any decent software engineer can do in a matter of days, just makes it so much worse.
Some people have a rather mellow attitude to it all and simply say "Don't hate the player, hate the game". I proclaim the right to hate the game and anyone who plays it. Apple should have some pride and a sense of dignity. Apple should be better than this.
Clearly they are not.
