Despite popular belief, Apple apparently allows apps containing nudity in the App Store. Just two days ago, the website Justpurepics.com released the app
Boundless - Emotional Photography by John Covington. It appears that, for the first time ever, you can find some nude content in the App Store. As long as the erotic images are tiny - albeit
zoomable - bare breasted women are available for ogling on your iPhone.
Before you run out and buy this app (if you haven't already stopped reading and started downloading), you should know a few things. There are about fifty erotic photographs in
Boundless, with thumbnail images leading to a large, high quality photograph. The
thumbnails are the only images containing nudity; each of the large pictures are cleverly cropped, so that any offending body parts are just slightly off screen. Even some of the thumbnail images have been manually blurred.
I'd say that it takes a certain kind of perv to get all excited about this app, but by this morning the app had moved up to 29th in its category. I don't mind this kind of stuff in the App Store, in fact I'm in favor of Apple loosening its standards for applications, but above all else: they should be consistent in what they are approving. There are hundreds of
rejected apps that seem tamer than an application that simply contains a collection of nude photographs.
