“As described in the patent language, a user first selects a given point on a touchscreen which corresponds to a location on the display of one or more UI elements. From these targeted elements, the system compares the smallest displayed feature with a predetermined size threshold. If the feature is smaller than or equal to the threshold, the loupe displays a magnified image of the element in accordance with a scaled magnification factor. If the features are larger than the predetermined threshold, no magnification is applied.”

Like many patents from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), understanding all of the language is not always simple. All you really need to know is that this technology is something that has made life easier for iPad and iPhone users.
