Phone Story

App Store

Apple pulled the game from the App Store hours after it had been approved, citing four App Store code violations:

• 15.2 Apps that depict violence or abuse of children will be rejected
• 16.1 Apps that present excessively objectionable or crude content will be rejected
• 21.1 Apps that include the ability to make donations to recognized charitable organizations must be free
• 21.2 The collection of donations must be done via a web site in Safari or an SMS

The developer contests the latter two, and as for the first two, he remarked that he needed to think a while to figure out how to "[P]roduce a new version of Phone Story that depicts the violence and abuse of children involved in the electronic manufacturing supply chain in a non-crude and non-objectionable way."

On the other hand, the game is still available on Google Play.
