Apple Has Axed The Hottest Girls

Apple Has Axed The Hottest Girls

Apple, it seems doesn’t have the hottest girls after all. The company has said that the Hottest Girls app won’t be allowed back into the iTunes App Store.

Why? There had been no problem with the application at first. It did what it said on the tin, sending pictures of attractive women to the iPhones of people who’d signed up for it. Then it began sending nude images, and it was game over.

That broke the Apple rule of no pornography.

When the app first went black, the developer blamed a server failure, but it soon emerged that wasn’t the culprit, and on Friday Apple issued a statement that Hottest Girls wouldn’t be allowed back in the App Store:

"Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content, such as pornography."

"The developer of this application added inappropriate content directly from their server after the application had been approved and distributed and after the developer had subsequently been asked to remove some offensive content."

An official photo of the 2024 iPad Air.

Apple unveiled two new iPad Air models -- an 11-inch version and a 13-inch version -- at its May 7 "Let Loose" event. This is the first time that two iPad Air models have been launched simultaneously, and they're both packed with big upgrades.

The new iPad Air models still feature a Liquid Retina display. However, the 12MP front-facing ultrawide camera with Center Stage has been relocated to the landscape edge, making it perfect for video calls. The camera provides high-resolution photos and detailed 4K video, with support for 240 frames-per-second (fps) in slow-motion.

Apple just did something amazing to the iPad

Apple's "Let Loose" event just wrapped up, and as expected, there was a lot of iPad news. Just like the rumors suggested, Apple gave us pretty significant overhauls for the new 2024 iPad Air and 2024 iPad Pro. But there was another iPad-related announcement that I didn't expect — and it's the one I'm most excited about.

At the end of its event, Apple announced that the 10th-generation iPad will now be available for just $349. For context, Apple originally launched the 10th-gen iPad in October 2022 for $449. A $100 price cut is nothing to sneeze at, and if you ask me, it completely changes the positioning of this particular iPad.
