Did Android Copy iOS - Really?

It doesn't matter who invented it first, all that matters is who patented it first, nobody seems to have understood this except Apple, it's very odd.

I don't know law, but from what I've understood from others, this isn't the case. That's why people talk about prior art. If it's been in use already, you shouldn't be able to patent it.

They are apparently changing patent law to make it the first to file, rather than the first to invent/use, which to me seems rather odd. Surely the point was if you had a great idea on a new way of doing something, a patent should protect you. This new way, it wont if you don't fill out the paperwork?!!?
 
From that image, which bits are copied from iOS to how Android looks now? Surely, iOS is basically a load of icons on a home screen?
