Porn-Free Playboy iPhone App Is Here, But Who Will Buy It?
Posted in: Apple, apps, iPhone, Phones, Today's Chili
Apple has approved the official iPhone app for Playboy magazine — for fans of the articles, of course.
Although the iPhone has a parental controls feature, Apple’s policies still prohibit nudity from appearing in apps. That means you’ll get access to Playboy interviews, feature stories, a behind-the-scenes preview video (nope, no naked bodies there) and other material that’s PG-13 at best.
“The pictures are all non-nude or cropped, either from the magazine pictorial or from the Playmate’s Playboy.com pictorial,” a Playboy spokesman told Krapps, a blog that reviews iPhone apps.
With only eight reviews in the App Store, the $2 app is showing limp performance, which is no surprise. The current version of the app includes the November and December issues. Future issues will be sold through in-app purchasing for $2 a piece.
