Just days after Apple removed over 5000 "overtly sexual" applications from the App Store, the company appears to have taken a curious turn that could result in the reinstatement of many of these applications.
Cult of Mac reports and MacRumors has confirmed that Apple has added a new "Explicit" category in the iTunes Connect system for App Store submissions. The category is included in drop-down menus that allow developers to select categories for their applications to be placed in, and appears alongside the traditional App Store categories such as "Books", "Entertainment", and "Games".
And the plot thickens. Hopefully this does mean we ‘ll see a new Explicit category in the iPhone App Store soon, and that all those ‘overtly sexual ‘ apps can happily go there rather than be banned altogether. As long as those of us who don ‘t want to see them can filter that category out, that sounds good to me.
