first-to-file would kill the Chinese patent if it was based on Apple documents.
That's not to say the Chinese haven't copied American law by saying foreign
publications don't count ...

First to file does not mean that just because you filed first you win. If the
other guy can prove you filed a copy of what he was working on but hadn't filed
he will still win.
If you saw what he was doing it was "published" to you and publishing
is the foundation of prior art. If he can show it was published against his will
he can still get a patent as long as he is prompt to apply.
Most of the world has had first to file since patents were invented in about 14
something ...
