iPorn Girls Head to Apple Office for App Negotiations

They are controversial and of course lavishing. Perhaps TOO lavishing thus making their app, the iPorn app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, has not yet been approved for inclusion at the iTunes store. But 5 iPorn girls aim to change all that as they pay a visit to Apple headquarters to try and convince the top Apple execs on the current state of their iPhone application.

At the moment the app can only be accessed via the iPorn website. While most iPhone and iPod Touch owners can always use Safari to access them, the effort is still different if it could be done via the Apple Store. Apple has been known to make controversial approvals on certain apps and it seems that will be the case once again. But this early, iPorn seems to be in high spirits as far as approval for their app is concerned. The approval of the iPorn iPhone app would be Apple’s first step in the right direction - NO MORE CENSORSHIP!

Check out the gallery of the iPorn Girls from their last visit.

Apple responds to dictionary censorship accusation

Author: Jeff

If you’ve been paying attention you’ll know that an iPhone dictionary app entitled Ninjawords Dictionary was approved for the App Store only after some of suggestive words were erased. Well, it seems that Apple’s Phil Schiller has taken time to comment on the accusation.

According to Mr. Schiller, the fact that Ninjawords Dictionary used Wicktionary as a source for its definitions means that more vulgar terms were used than a traditional dictionary. Upon seeing this, App Store reviewers told the developers to wait until parental controls were in place to submit the app so it could be given a 17+ rating instead of censorship. The developers of said app then decided to censor some words and resubmit it so in an attempt to get to market faster but low and behold there were still suggestive words found in the dictionary which still earned it a 17+ rating.

So in conclusion, it was the developer’s choice to censor the words instead of pressure from Apple which, according to Schiller, there was none.
