I'm starting to think that Apple approves updates for iPhone apps , when there's another one submitted while the first one is still waiting approval .

Call me crazy but I've noticed that developers that seem to get updates approved quicker , often post that they've already submitted another one while waiting for approval for the first .

maybe more frequent incremental updates are the way to go ?
Seems like Apple moves quicker when you put a little pressure on them . :D

Has anyone said that a new update (newer than 1.0.3) has been sent to Apple for review?

yes they submitted it 10 days ago . I believe that was posted both here and on the Omni Focus twitter feed . In that same 10 days I've seen two updates for a time tracking app I use and 3 for a notes program .
I've no proof that apple moves quicker when they're sent another update for approval but it sure looks that way.
It would be interesting to see the track record . I'm sure apple will overhaul the process before too long .

Here's an alternative hypothesis: large, complicated apps with many potential "gotchas" to look for take longer to review than the quick "oops, we need to fix three more lines of code" kind of changes you seem to be describing.

Just my $0.02...

I thought that too, but they put the most recent " things touch" update through in 7-8 days ..
And actually I think the notes program " write-room " involved a substantial change in bonjour syncing .
These things have always fascinated me , why some companies do things a certain way , does apple really have a set procedure they're following , or do other factors influence it . Time will tell .

You'll appreciate it more if you have to wait. Didn't your mother always tell you that? :)
