You can see a lot of applications, I guess there is Sketches and Docs are on the first screen, but notice they are all from 1.x firmware, so this patent was issued before-AppStore.
I guess they needed the extra applications and didn’t want to reveal the AppStore because the patent could be leaked when it was under process.

all Apple patents use generic icons and never mention any specific applications or names. If you have seen other Apple patents before it’s obvious that this one is fake !

Photoshop Phun! Anyone notice that there is also wallpaper under the apps?
Apple isn’t doing that and there is NO reason to put hat in a parent.
This is totally fake but funny. I am sure the person who did it is laughing hard now watching it circle the intertubes.

Look at the app Videos!!! iPhone doesn’t have one, so it is the iPod Touch model! Change your title! It isn’t an iphone!!! Am I wrong?

Fig 5B has the “Phone”, so it is an iPhone, 5C is an iPod touch.

Yeah, Usually the legit ones I have seen do not have app labels and usually the icons are generic.
