Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller has for the third time emailed a developer upset over an App Store rejection. According to a Dow Jones Newswires report, Schiller emailed Chris Kenner of the magic site Theory11.com to discuss the rejection of the company’s “rising card” trick application, which Apple reviewers claimed created “consumer confusion.” Although details of the correspondence have not been revealed, Kenner and Schiller are expected to discuss the matter today. Theory11 CEO Jonathan Bayme commented, “It’s frustrating to us as a developer to have it just sitting there and hoping that Phil could intervene.”

“It’s frustrating to us as a developer to have it just sitting there and hoping that Phil could intervene.”
Phil hasn’t been intervening. He’s just trying to spin the press about app store rejections to not be so negative.
There’s nothing in this letter that indicates Apple has either accepted the app, or made any kind of actual change to their review processes that would even help any apps that Phil directly responded about, let alone app store reviews in general.
