Apple lashes out at iPhone porn app maker and the EU rules allowing its download

Apple has chided a newly available pornography app available in the European Union, and warned that the bloc’s digital rules opening the way for third-party app store downloads undermines consumer confidence in the tech giant.

AltStore PAL, an alternative app marketplace made possible under Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), unveiled the Hot Tub iPhone app this week, which is described as an adult content browser.

The digital rulebook forces Big Tech companies to open their services up to more competition, including allowing phone users to download from alternative app stores instead of being limited to the official app stores from Apple and Google, for example.

AltStore PAL said in a social media post on Monday that Hot Tub is “the world’s 1st Apple-approved porn app.”

Apple is NOT happy.

Updating the line from Ed Norton on Jackie Gleason's "Honeymooners":
But will it hard-core a Apple?

HELLFIRE

This app the apple of someone's eye? It's got a-peel, no doubt!

Apple better keep things core-dial.

One of the categories "Ripe Golden Apples?" Totally asking for a friend...

An apple (porn app) a day keeps the grumps away!

I'll quit while I'm ahead. XD XD

I returned the only MacBook I ever bought within 2 days because their wireless is so good, they won’t play with anyone else but I was converted to Apple phones and iPads by my wife of all people, who hasn’t had her passwords right in 20 years. It’s fair to say I’m no fanboy. But I’ve got to side with Apple on this one.
