Google has admitted in its comments that Apple did rejected the Google Voice Application for iPhone, contrary to the Apple denial. Google said this in its statement to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission which published it on its website.
Google states that Apple did inform about the issue and claims that Google Voice duplicated the core dialer functionality of the iPhone.
Apple’s stand on this regard is that it had some agreements with AT&T, the carrier for iPhone, regarding restrictions on making Internet calls which would adversely affect the call rates. But Google’s Voice is not the only application supporting the VoIP (e.g. Skype) which allows the user to make internet calls.
