When was this? Based on https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2005/06/28Apple-Takes-Podcasting-Mainstream/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2005/06/28Apple-Takes-Podcast..., it looks like Apple added podcast support to iTunes in 2005. The iPhone wasn’t released until 2007 and the App Store didn’t exist until 2008.
- Symmetry 5y agoI was using an iPhone 3GS so it would have been 2009 or 2010. I might very well have been mistaken about podcast support in iTunes being new given that I didn't use iTunes.

- d35007 5y agoThanks. Apple has arbitrarily banned so many apps that I guess I just forgot about this one. It's hard to imagine a time when iPhones couldn't download podcasts over the air. I can understand why banning Podcaster would have made OP sour on Apple.
