Best Answer

Apple has the right to reject app icons that contain a picture of an iPhone or an iPad. The Guidelines for Using Apple Trademarks and Copyrights explain why Apple does not support such icons:

Depictions of Apple Products

Apple does not support the use of […] images of Apple products by other parties in marketing, promotional or advertising materials as their use may create the perception that Apple endorses or sponsors the product, service or promotion.

Go through all your splash images and your icons, especially the app icon. Remove all pictures that look like an iPhone or an iPad. After that, re-submit your app.
