Apple is yet to flip the fabled Kill Switch and wipe an iPhone App from the face of the Earth, but they are still reserving the right to turn their noses up at Apps they don’t like.
One such is Pull My Finger – an app you might describe as an innovative multimedia, flatulence-based prank simulator. If you had to.
The developer of this nugget sent it off to Apple and received the following:
We’ve reviewed your application Pull My Finger. We have determined that this application is of limited utility to the broad iPhone and iPod touch user community, and will not be published to the App Store.
It may be very appropriate to share with friends and family, and we recommend you review the Ad Hoc method on the Distribution tab of the iPhone Developer Portal for details on distributing this application among a small group of people of your choosing.
Outrage! I mean, there are plenty of apps on the App Store that are of ‘limited utility’. At least Pull My Finger is meant to be limited, utility-wise. This developer was only trying to Think Different, Apple. Or do you no longer endorse that slogan?
To get a taste (not literally, urgh) of the kind of innovation that Apple is stifling, check out this clip:
