Thats all well and good but the youngest female in my work is at least fcuking 50 years old so I need my iPhone booty apps to keep the heart pumping!:D

They have been very selective about what they have removed... the playboy app is apparently still available. So some porn is more acceptable than other porn according to Apple...

Dades

The Sports Illustrated 'teaser' app is also free.

and while they are at it i do hope they remove all other crap like ibeer , ifart, idrunk, ipee....

The move is unsurprisingly due to complains from (female) customers:

It came to the point where we were getting customer complaints from women who found the content getting too degrading and objectionable, as well as parents who were upset with what their kids were able to see.
We obviously care about developers, but in the end have to put the needs of the kids and parents first.

That is some great PR work, the kids and the parents before the perverts, how can you argue with that?

The Apple=Fisher Price crowd will be all over this :pac:


You'd have to feel kinda bad for the group described on the bbc report about it

ChilliFresh is an Australian company that creates apps for the iPhone, including the recently banned Wobble, which provides pictures of women's breasts.
.................
The firm was making £320 a day out of its apps, a figure which has dropped to £5 since the ban, he said.
