Apple Exec Explains App Store Sex Ban: 'We Were Getting Complaints From Women'

Apple Exec Phil Schiller Speaks On The App Store's Sex Ban

It took them four days, but Apple is finally explaining its surprise decision to remove nearly all 'sexy' content from the App Store. Once again, the morsels of information come from Apple SVP of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller, who spoke with the New York Times for an article published earlier this evening. None of it is too surprising, but Schiller's unconvincing explanation as to why some applications like Sports Illustrated's swimsuit app and Playboy will be allowed to remain on the store is sure to anger plenty of developers.
