Could the same thing be done for iPhone apps or would Apple not allow such things?

The Apple's Appstore has coupons for free installation (up to 50 coupons per release).

I have also designed my own billing system, which has server-backed "free trial", time-limited purchases, and of course "we want to thank you this much" free orders. You can see it in action in my GeeTasksLite iPhone app. I'm thinking about selling this billing system as a library and a service (the server side).

I think that the App Store has a feature that lets you give away apps to friends, reviewers, etc. (unlike the Android Market).
