"For the first time, pornography apps are available on iPhone from other marketplaces — apps we’ve never allowed on the App Store because of the risks they create, especially for children," the California-based company said in a press release.

Yea, because European parents are known for buying children expensive iPhones, unlocking it to allow third party Apps and install porn Apps right away. It is called parental control…

The case doesn’t sound constructed at all.

The classical "think of the children" argument. They truly are desperate to keep their walled garden. The EU is doing the right thing.

The horror! Just imagine if children were able to access the exact same content from Apple's Safari browser! 😱🖕

Jokes on you, I have a third party porn app on my phone. And I’m a child.

Not in my age though, just a manchild….
