maybe it's the cheapest way to induce flexibility in rubber? Since it hasn't been proven conclusively, Apple is just taking the easy/cost effective way..
However, just because it has not been tested conclusively, doesn't mean that more likely than not it is safe to use them.
I wonder if other headphone cables have the same problem...
Apple says they are doing away with some of the chemicals by the ends of 2008. In the meantime should they put a warning on the iphones and earbud cables "do not eat"???
