Knowing the Haskell community, they could probably convert GHC Core into idiomatic Objective-C if they really wanted to, but it's not necessary. RubyMotion and other platforms are accepted because they stick to Apple's guidelines. The same would go for a GHC-iPhone platform.

iPhone Monad, anyone?

Why would one need to, GHC can already compile Haskell/Core to C? But as you say, it's not a violation of Apple's terms anymore.

Because compiling to C would be too easy.
