Following numerous complaints from customers, Apple has begun removing software from its App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch that has been considered "overtly sexual".

A developer of the application "Wobble iBoobs" recently received a letter from Apple explaining that the company is "constantly refining" their guidelines as to what is acceptable on the App Store. "We have decided to remove any overtly sexual content from the App Store, which includes your application," the letter from the iPhone App Review department reads. The software developer was given the option to make the necessary changes so that the program complies with Apple’s new policy and resubmit for review.

Similar applications with sexual content have also been removed from the App Store, though others remain. At this point it is not known what Apple deems to be an "overtly sexual" application, or if all similar applications will also be removed.
