Apple's moralistic stance against porn on its platform is no new development. Since the App Store first opened, the pioneer of smartphones has enforced a strict, often overzealous, and sometimes hypocritical refusal to allow apps that overtly feature porn– which it categorizes as "objectionable material."
Their puritanical virtue signaling hasn't hampered iPhone-wielding fans of adult content, though. While apps that overtly feature porn are banned, applications that incidentally feature porn are largely unimpeded. Anyone with an objectionable urge and an iPhone can tell you that the stock web browser Safari is perfectly capable of accessing the full bounty of internet smut, just like any Android device.
