It’s almost unheard of for Apple to comment on an individual iPhone app, but it’s just done so in response to the first porn app, just arriving on European iPhones.

A native pornography app for iOS is coming to the EU via the approved alternative app store AltStore PAL, made possible by Europe's Digital Markets Act

In a move shaking up the iOS app ecosystem, AltStore has officially listed ‘Hot Tub,’ the first native adult content app for iPhones and iPads.

AltStore PAL said in a social media post that Hot Tub is “the world’s 1st Apple-approved porn app.” Apple rejects that claim.

Apple has issued a fiery statement condemning Hot Tub - the first-ever pornographic app to become available on iPhones across Europe

Apple is up in arms over the arrival of the first iPhone app featuring adult content, made possible thanks to the EU's Digital Markets Act.

Apple has criticised AltStore PAL’s new adult content app Hot Tub on EU iPhones, arguing that despite passing notarisation, it does not meet Apple’s safety standards. Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney accused Apple of stifling competition through its restrictive app policies.
