Tap Tap Tap has an interesting post entitled “Apple’s precedents vs. Apple’s guidelines” that discusses how they changed one of the icons in their Lightbox mobile app from the icon that Apple uses to designate “perform actions on multiple photos” to one of their own design:

multiple select items icon

previous multiple select items icon (upper right corner)

multiple select in action
Well-written post that delves into some of the nuts-and-bolts of how effective UX decisions can be made.
