9to5Mac has reported that Apple is working on a gesture-based unlock screen similar to Android’s. It is being reported that Apple has released the lock screen for use in the employee ‘Apple Connect’ application for iOS devices.

Apple is even planning on bringing this down to their new mobile payment system business, on the EasyPay machines. The lock screen looks just like Android’s lock screen, which Google probably has patents on, so this might never see the fingers of consumers.

The article includes several screenshots of what this screen looks like.
