Hot Tub Time Machine: Apple’s Not-So-Approved Dive into EU’s First Notarized Adult App
Apple’s gatekeeping days have been given a cheeky twist! Thanks to the EU’s Digital Markets Act, the first Apple-notarized porn app called Hot Tub is now making waves on AltStore PAL. Just remember, Apple may have notarized it, but it hasn’t exactly rolled out the red carpet for it.
Hot Take:
Oh, how the tables have turned! Apple, the bastion of app purity, is now the reluctant gatekeeper of steamy digital content. Who knew that “Hot Tub” would make such a splash? Apple may have to take a long, cold shower after this one!
Key Points:
- Apple is required by the EU’s Digital Markets Act to allow sideloading of apps via third-party platforms.
- AltStore PAL, an alternative app marketplace, now offers the first Apple-notarized adult content app, “Hot Tub.”
- “Hot Tub,” developed by c1d3r, is an ad-free adult content browser, but not approved for Apple’s App Store.
- AltStore PAL requires users to manually add “Hot Tub” to see it, reducing unintentional exposure.
- Apple expressed concerns about safety risks and explicitly disapproved of the app’s content.
