First porn app approved for the iPhone in Europe. Apple isnt happy.


It's not, in fact, "Apple approved."

These are only available in Europe, due to the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which mandates that large companies such as Apple have to offer alternative marketplaces for apps. "We are deeply concerned about the safety risks that hardcore porn apps of this type create for EU users, especially kids. The truth is that we are required by the European Commission to allow it to be distributed by marketplace operators like AltStore and Epic who may not share our concerns for user safety," Apple said in a statement to The Verge.
