I'd have to agree with Phogg here - Apple is free to sell or promote whatever they want, or indeed choose not to do the same. All the cries of censorship and/or the popularity of the iphone have nothing to do with it.
Don't like it? Don't buy the product. I certainly don't. Apple has been decidedly hack-unfriendly for a very long time.
ps. the wikipedia definition of corporate censorships states:
"Corporate censorship is the process by which editors in corporate media outlets intervene to halt the publishing of information that portrays their business or business partners in a negative light. Privately owned corporations in the business of reporting the news also sometimes refuse to distribute information due to the potential loss of advertiser revenue or shareholder value which adverse publicity may bring."
That doesn't seem to apply here.
