  • "Siri voice control"

  • "Face ID"

  • "Pinch-to-zoom"

Answer

The "Pinch-to-zoom" gesture, which allows users to zoom in and out of content by pinching or spreading their fingers on a touchscreen, was challenged by a patent held by Norwegian company, Ferren. Ferren's patent claimed ownership of the multi-touch gesture, leading to a legal battle with Apple, who widely implemented the feature in their iPhones and iPads.
