Apple Inc lambasted the EU’s Digital Markets Act after the first known porn app for the iPhone arrived on the company’s devices in the region.

The app, called Hot Tub, is available in the EU via AltStore PAL, a third-party software marketplace that became available in the region due to local requirements. The app allows users to search for and view pornographic video from multiple online sources.
