"e.g. Images and icons are not framed with a "polaroid" style (thicker at the bottom) border"

Can someone give me an example of a Polaroid border? Is it just a frame around an image?

It's a fat white border around the image. A variation of this often imitates a photo stack each having such frame.

Google images keywords: polaroid frame, polaroid stack.

What's interesting that this wouldn't be allowed, I think there's many apps using this framing style in the app store already.

I assume that Polaroid has asserted some kind of trademark over the Polaroid-style frame, but I couldn't find any such case on Google.
We got a reject from Apple for this very reason. Don't have an example but the dimensions for the photos below - best advised to avoid using these proportions! Physical = 3.5" x 4.25" 0.25 inch white border at the top, .1875 inches on the sides and .875 at the bottom
Yes - a frame around the image with the bottom border being thicker: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J0yzOfVB7yk/TgC1f_wjVbI/AAAAAAAAE_...
