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.

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

In the EU, Apple's gatekeeper status changed with the 2022 adoption of the Digital Markets Act, which required Apple to allow alternative app stores.
