According to New York Times:
"Mr. von Tetzchner said that Opera’s engineers have developed a version of Opera Mini that can run on an Apple iPhone, but Apple won’t let the company release it because it competes with Apple’s own Safari browser.
Opera Mini is free, and can be downloaded onto many phones. The company earns money, as it does for its computer service, from search engines. In addition, some carriers pay Opera to develop custom versions of Opera Mini for their systems. "
It is not clear if Opera has submitted this to Apple for inclusion in the App store but it is interesting to note that recently Opera had refused to create a custom version of Opera Mini browser for Samsung Instinct phone despite hundreds of requests!

Why would anyone want to use Opera mini in place of safari?
Safari is great on the iPhone. It has set the standard for mobile phone browsers.
No Need The Opera Mini will work fine After the MR4
Up date on the Instinct. And I kinda think by the Instict 2 we see Safari Application for the Instinct
Safari on the Instinct? I don't think that will ever happen. Maybe someone will come up with a Safari - like browser though...
