"But even if you’re fine with that, how about this: one of the diagrams in Apple’s patent application for a travel app is a direct copy, down to the text and the positions of the icons, of an existing third-party app that’s been available on the App Store for years."
he wrote that 'one of the diagrams' was a direct copy. not the entire application. i don't think it's easy to dismiss apple taking the home screen and including it in their patent file. apple may have different functionality beyond the home screen, but they have nonetheless downright copied the home screen.
edit: updated the title, amended 'screen' to the end to clarify
