I can agree that you may not be able to think of another reason, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I had wondered if they were afraid of issues w/3rd party batteries; an iPhone w/an exploding battery would be front page news, and the small text about it being some third-party product would not help their image (many people still think of the Sony battery problems as reflections of Dell and Apple). I don't think that's a good enough reason, but maybe it was part of their rationale.
