What’s stopping you from downloading Chrome on your iPhone and making it the default browser? They are allowing competition in every sense. They have just managed to keep Safari good enough for typical users not to feel any desire to add another browser to their phone. From a non-developer standpoint, safari is great. From a developer standpoint, I have just as many issues with Firefox having strange quirks.

Chrome on iPhone is just Safari with a different menu bar. The web page rendering and interaction is entirely controlled by Apple's webkit.

...Apple's app store policies that forbid other browser runtimes? Chrome on iphone is just a wrapper for webkit.
