Apple's moral App Store crusade has been devastatingly and alarmingly effective, laying waste to over 5000 apps the company arbitrarily deemed objectionable. So, we asked Lux Alptraum, Editor of Fleshbot (NSFW), what's left? She calmed our nerves. (With porn.)
Apple has banned sexy apps. But apps from Playboy and Sports Illustrated remain. Why does Apple care what turns me on?
Apple claims they removed those 5,000 boobie apps because women were complaining over the "degrading" and "objectionable" content. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the removal of the SuicideGirls' app—which actually empowers women—seems most questionable.
The iPhone Perv App Wars of 2010 is over, with Apple firing the one and only round, killing off 5,000 tata apps. But, what do you, as a consumer, feel about it?
First we lost the ability to make boobs jiggle, then we lost most of our sexy iPhone apps (about 5,000 of them), and now we can't even shop for swimsuits using an app-based catalog? Well, at least we still have Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit app to keep us amused.
The slapdown of boobs, sexual or otherwise titillating apps on the iPhone App Store has claimed 5,000 apps, says Chillifresh, maker of Wobble. Or wait, mabye it was 10,000 casualties. [CNET]
Recently, Apple removed Wobble—an app that adds animated jiggles to photo breasts—from the App Store. Other removals followed. Now, a developer who talked to Apple says the future of iPhone titillation is bleak.
Remember the Wobble iPhone app? It let you add some—ahem—rather realistic jiggle to your photos. Unfortunately it's been removed from the App Store for "overtly sexual content" despite only using imported photos and not actually providing sexual content.
Wobble is one of those 99-cent iPhone apps: You shake your iPhone, and boobs or any other salacious body part will jiggle. Totally approved for the App Store. But Apple doesn't like boobs. Or booty.
Who needs the fake boobies of iBoobs when Wobble lets you add boob jiggle to real photos? Just tap, resize, repeat, and any photo you have on your iPhone becomes an instant jigglefest.
