Just another reason to jailbreak your iPhone - The blockchain app is on Cydia you know.
Smashing iPhones is like smashing PC's or Surface tabs because Microsoft doesn't accept BTC - no reason to destroy perfectly good hardware because of Apple's ridiculous control issues.

There is a difference between not accepting it and getting rid of applications without a valid reason or statement.

They have a valid "statement" - Apple decides what gets accepted to the Appstore and what stays in the Appstore and Apple doesn't have to tell why. That's part of the deal blockchain.info made with Apple when they submitted the app.
https://developer.apple.com/appstore/guidelines.html

Their "reason" on the other hand is completely bs. I doubt Apple actually has a problem with bitcoin - they just don't want to promote it on their store because of the potential legal issues. They simple don't allow a lot of financial stuff and children potentially "playing" with money.
Terrible PR decision though and it'll probably change soon like it did with real money poker apps(PokerStars for instance).

They made things worse by first accepting it and later withdrawing it though... idiots..
