Apple has changed its mind about a Twitter iPhone app that presents users with language some might find objectionable.
The popular Twitter app for iPhone and iPod touch–called Tweetie 1.3–was formerly rejected because it gives users access to the Twitter Trends section, which displays the most frequent topics or words on Twitter at any given moment. This section lists swear words–including a particular four-letter word that begins with the letter F–that apparently raised Apple’s disdain.
App developer Loren Brichter emailed Apple quoted this part of the company’s guidelines as a reason for the decision:
Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive, or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple’s reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod Touch users.
However, Apple relented Tuesday, according to Brichter.
“Great news! 1.3 has now been approved! Nice!,”
Brichter tweeted late this afternoon.
