Apple patent is for a different way to implement it so Google hasn't and cannot patent the way Apple does it.

You can't patent the concept of face unlock. You can patent a specific way to implement it. Just like Apple couldn't patent a touchscreen, but could patent he unique and revolutionary way you interacted with an iPhone.

"The unique and revolutionary way you interacted with an iPhone."

Again, thanks for the laugh Mr.ApplePR

Be honest with yourself and you'll see I'm right. Before the iPhone you used a track or stylus along with qwerty keyboards.

Just the touch scrolling and pinch to zoom totally changed web browsing on a mobile phone. Before that it sucked. I remember as I had windows phones and blackberries.

I'm not denying that Apple was the first to make a phone with a touchscreen that was actually a pleasant experience to use.

I was just laughing at your word choice. It's almost like you've been watching too many Apple ads... "unique and revolutionary" just cracked me up. That's all.

daniel you are dumb ok the Prada argument is old.. ok has been discussed plenty of times... Apples pays for parts ok.. nothing is given to Apple is a win for Apple and Samsung as they now make cellphones worhty of a second look unlike old samsung models that didnt offer anything new to the table...

Did the prada have pinch to zoom and swipe gestures and kinetic scrolling and a webkit browser.

Nope :). Say thanks Apple for my great phone I can enjoy because of you.

lol, you iFans are a sad sad bunch. All your arguments proven wrong time and time again, and when you lose eventually, you pull that, "If it weren't for Apple, you wouldn't have Android". Face forward loser, dwelling on past successes gets you nowhere.
