Confusion surrounds new 'Explicit' category on App Store

Adult apps not heading back to iPhone anytime soon, it seems.

The controversy around Apple's policies regarding sexual content in iPhone apps got a new twist yesterday, when it seemed as if the company was about to allow adult apps again.

As Cult Of Mac reported, a new category suddenly appeared in the iTunes Connect service used by developers to submit their apps to Apple - 'Explicit'.

However, no sooner had it appeared and been reported on, than the category disappeared.

Tech blog Gizmodo talked to an iPhone developer who claimed to have asked Apple about the mystery category, and been told that "it's not going to happen anytime soon".

Watch this space (just don't expect to see any boobs or bikinis in it for a while)...
