I'm definitely not familiar enough with the SDK to know what will be
required to run the daemon, if it's possible.
A couple of issues with the iPhone,
Firstly you can't run background processes. There will be a notification
system allowing the background reception of notifications and alerts, but
no background daemons.
Secondly, apparently the iPhone SDK agreement states that for applications
that use the "Location APIs", you may not design nor market applications
for "real time route guidance" or "emergency or life-saving purposes".
So, while this doesn't preclude an APRS client, if it uses the inbuilt
Location APIs, it can't be designed or marketed for "emergency" purposes.

Doesn't mean we can't put an APRS client on it though...
