follow the money

If it's in Apple's financial interest find a reason - any reason- to deny the app, I believe they will.

If an altered user experience results in people being not will to pay a premium for the product, then I can see the concern.

More of a concern though is users knowing they are using a Google app to do what they really want. If that's the case, then why not go for Android (OK the iphone has better hardware but not everyone knows that [I have Android myself]).

The main problem is that it's from Google. We know that, you know that and they know that.

Apple doesn't think it's users can tell the difference between the phone and an app. If I don't like an app, I don't use it. Is Apple saying their interface can't be changed back.

Apple is arguing that people won't use the iphone if they don't like a Google app. Aren't users smart enough to pick the interface they prefer.

I said it before and will say it again -- Apple is asserting that users are stupid. Is the app really going to ruin the phone? I can't get my beloved Apple dialer back.
