Porn apps are not allowed on any of their existing App Stores, so I'm not sure why this would be different.
- Dig1t 3y agoWell, this platform is uniquely well suited for porn. It would be a massive system seller for them if it were allowed. It goes beyond just videos, interactive experiences are a new thing for porn and you need to actually be able to install an app to make them work. There is historical precedent for platform winners being the one that had the support of the porn industry. See: Blu-ray vs HD-DVD and others.
- ceejayoz 3y agoThe closest Apple is likely to get is allowing some form of side-loading.
- qingcharles 3y agoThey'll probably be forced into side-loading, like the EU is doing with iOS right now.
- chasd00 3y agoThe AR experience of a virtual door in your living room, a knock, then opening the door and in steps a pornstar who then sits down on your couch would be revolutionary.
- madeofpalk 3y agoYou think Apple’s going to have a massive change of heart and let porn onto their App Store? The question here isn’t whether you think Porn is a unique application of AR/VR, it’s whether Apple would allow it onto their curated App Store.
- dingnuts 3y agoThere are definitely apps for playing 3D 3/6DOF videos over a network available in the Oculus store, like Skybox VR I guess that isn't a porn app but neither is a web browser, technically. Are people installing first party porn apps on their other devices?
- dandellion 3y agoSo what are the chances that this ends up like Betamax? I mean that a technically inferior alternative will allow porn and take over.
- ceejayoz 3y agoVHS didn't have manufacturer-controlled content purchasing. The other major VR device manufacturers have a similar approach; you get the apps and content through their stores. Sony, Facebook, Google, etc. are all similarly unlikely to have official porn support; Steam is perhaps the most likely (as they permit at least some adult gaming on their store). I suspect you'll see plenty of porn apps in jailbreak / sideload world. Quest already has 'em that way.
- MBCook 3y agoWe still don’t know whether or not there is an official side loading story (ala Mac) or if it’s locked down (ala iOS, though I think that’s odds favorite).
- herval 3y agoWhat's the chances the iPhone will end up like Betamax? It doesn't offer porn apps, after all
- fragmede 3y agoSafari visits Pornhub just fine. The question is if video playing will support side-by-side video for 3D in the browser.
- herval 3y agoSince webxr is confirmed to be supported, and u can do 3d video with it, it’d be extremely unlikely they would restrict that
- dandellion 3y agoHigher than zero, its market share is much lower than Android.
