"After reading the claims, it's clear that the spinning wheel image
stolen from the 3rd party app was not part of the claimed invention at
all and was just an illustration. You see this a lot in patents, where a
an exemplar device such as a Dell laptop is used in a drawing but is not
part of the claims."

I am not yet well versed in the ins and outs of patent law, but wouldn't
the existence of the original app constitute prior art and invalidate
Apple's patent filing?
