The first application with pornographic content was added to the iPhone, despite Apple’s resistance. This was reported by the publication 9TO5MAC.
The Hot Tub application, which opens access to adult materials, appeared on Apple smartphones through an ALTSTORE PAL third -party store. The American company opposed it, but could not do anything. Media journalists explained that due to the laws of the European Union (EU), Apple is limited in the control of alternative App Store stores.
“We are deeply concerned about the risks of safety that hardcore porn applications of this type create for users from the EU, especially for children,” said Tima Cook in the company. The corporation reproached the European Commission (EC) of that it contributes to the appearance of potentially dangerous applications on the iPhone, contrary to Apple position.
The authors of the 9to5MAC noticed that the Hot Tub application available through the Altstore Pal store does not require age testing, so children can potentially use it. The head of Epic Games Tim Swini reacted to the appearance of Hot Tub, accusing Apple of hypocrisy. According to him, iOS has long been porn applications: “For example, they post the Reddit application, and Reddit is full of porn.”
At the end of January, Epic Games said that it was ready to spend large sums on promoting its own and other people’s games and applications on the iPhone and the fight against Apple. The head of the company Tim Suini noted that Epic Games is determined to fight the monopoly in the mobile games market.
