I think it's just a byproduct of a maturing platform. Apple has nurtured the platform into a certain direction and more or less set a standard for what an iOS app is going to be. (look & feel, stability, security, etc) Now that users also have high expectations the App Store is probably starting to police itself to some degree. I'm guessing they reached a point where only 1-2% of apps had any approval issues so it's becoming more practical to switch to an innocent until proven guilty model.

> so it's becoming more practical to switch to an innocent until proven guilty model. As far as I know, they haven't done it. They have published the guidelines (so developers can self-police as they know now Apple means business) and probably lightened the review (for the reasons you've outlined), but it's not like the AppStore has become a Market-lookalike where an upload gets online within the hour and without any review.
