The SDK is free. As are all the development tools for an Apple (XCode). You can develop and test your app for free. However, the distribute it you do need to pay a $99 fee. I'm not sure if it is one time or annual. (Of course the cost of (legitimate) entry is also buying a Mac. The least expensive one would be a Mini refurb for about $500.)

Of course, if you want to release it under Cydia for jail broken devices I think it is free. But, if you want to see it paying $99 to have access to 100 million plus potential customer seems a bargain.
