IANAL, but I'm not sure anyone would have a legal leg to stand on.
Microsoft's legal troubles about bundling IE were possible because MS was ruled to have a monopoly position in desktop PCs.
Apple has around 14% of the smartphone market, by no means a monopoly.
Their share gets even smaller when you look at the total cellphone market.
To the best of my knowledge, there isn't anything illegal about using product A to promote product B, or having a restricted platform.
You need some other trigger, such as having a dominant market position, or collusion between vendors, etc..
