I think such patents would rather apply to mobile devices, within third party apps. I can imagine that Apple has patented this relatively obvious process so that all the app developers who want to implement such processes for iPhone would have to pay a license to Apple. I can't see such processes implemented as part of a "subsidizing package" for Mac users. The best proof is that Apple has _always_ refused to put all the ugly stickers makers are famous for putting on PC cases. Intel first.
