  Yes, if you want to make an iPhone program, you must have at least some
basic knowledge of Objective-C, as it's mandatory for certain things (eg.
the Cocoa API is in Objective-C, and you have to use it to create iPhone
programs).

  Fortunately (at least for me :) ) Xcode for the iPhone actually supports
Objective-C++ rather than plain Objective-C. This means that everything
that is not related to Cocoa can be written in pure C++ (and even the code
which interacts with Cocoa can have C++ in it).

  In other words, there's full support for C++ in the system. You can write
entire libraries in pure C++ (as long as it's standard portable code) and
use it in your iPhone apps.
