Apple's stance that this is a shocking development, and previously the iPhone was some sort of porn-free zone is... strange.<p>Obviously, there's a web browser, but let's ignore that for now. More notably in this "we make you safe from porn inside apps" framing, there's <i>incredibly prominent</i> apps like Reddit or X, both of which are <i>lousy</i> with porn. If Apple thinks that porn is bad and worthy of being blocked from its store, they should take a look at that. This is just wildly hypocritical otherwise.
