I am floored by most of these comments. Really? You think this is a vendor lock in attempt? Let me tell you what, Apple *ALREADY* has complete vendor lock-in on their phones, this isn't that. This is just to help their share of the phone market. Nobody loses anything from them doing this. It's for Apple, by Apple, in Apple's territory (iOS), targeting Apple's customers. That's it. It's not going to bring anyone who uses OpenGL outside of iOS, and it isn't going to prevent anyone from using OpenGL anywhere else. It might even be a stop-gap until OpenGL 5 comes out and proves itself, who knows.
Additionally, don't be surprised if Apple open sources it. They've open sourced other things in the past and don't seem to have a problem with it. I don't even think it's going to be on OS X.
