Well, as a note, at least looking at them to compare some of the button graphics to those that I created, I did end up with 4000+ graphics to evaluate. But your reply points out something.
On iOS, Apple does a great job at giving us many of the standard button controls in many cases except where we want to drag out a UIButton and make them ourselves. There is still the "make your own button and get a rounded rect" approach, not a "here is your button and all the nice graphics to go with it".
Is there a resource that's in a code or graphics lib where we can reference approved button graphics so that we can use them in our own products for Apple products?
If there isn't, please let me know and I'll post some "pretty close to" compliant AI, PS and PNG files so that people don't have to hunt around for basic button graphics.
If there's something stupidly simply that I don't know, please tell me.
Thanks.

Besides, you can't expect what you take from one release to make sense on the next release. The iPod app was split out into the Music and Videos apps, each with different icons. The calculator app changed its icon. The Youtube app went away entirely. It's just not a good idea.
