"e.g. Images and icons are not framed with a "polaroid" style (thicker at the bottom) border" Can someone give me an example of a Polaroid border? Is it just a frame around an image?

We got a reject from Apple for this very reason. Don't have an example but the dimensions for the photos below - best advised to avoid using these proportions! Physical = 3.5" x 4.25" 0.25 inch white border at the top, .1875 inches on the sides and .875 at the bottom

"Lite versions must not prompt (up-sell) the full or paid version" Is this true? I play a game that periodically shows an up-sell to the paid version as an alternative to the app's advertisements.

By "prompt" I assume they mean an actual modal popup, or something else that can't be ignored. Advertising seems ok, but forcing the user to make a choice is not.

Yes - a frame around the image with the bottom border being thicker: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J0yzOfVB7yk/TgC1f_wjVbI/AAAAAAAAE_...

It's a fat white border around the image. A variation of this often imitates a photo stack each having such frame.

Google images keywords: polaroid frame, polaroid stack.

What's interesting that this wouldn't be allowed, I think there's many apps using this framing style in the app store already.

Any mention of my personal hero Chuck Norris is also an instant rejection. :( I even tried a little s/Chuck Norris/Nuck Chorris/g but to no avail. http://bit.ly/oHvY1b

And rightfully so. He's a huge Sarah Palin fan. What a wimp. Angela Lansbury could kick his ass.
