Apple recenlty issued a public apology for releasing a 99-cent app by the name of Baby Shaker into the App Store. Although, the product was only for a very short period of time, most users found the app offensive, which led to its removal.
The app showed an animation of a crying baby, with the instructions to listen to it for a long time before shaking the phone to make the crying stop.
Here’s the Apple’s public apology:
Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said Thursday that the game was “deeply offensive” and said it should not have been approved for sale.
“We sincerely apologize for this mistake,” Kerris said in a statement.
Even, Sikalosoft, the company primarily responsible behind the app, also issued an apology on their home page:
Yes, the Baby Shaker iPhone app was a bad idea. You should never shake a baby! Even on an Apple iPhone Baby Shaking application. In case you are unaware Baby Shaker was an Apple iPhone application that was greatly lacking in taste. It was approved by Apple for download upon the iPhone. However, it was later taken down because it was a baby shaking video game! While GTA is a video game that pushes the limits, it is still yet to have a baby shaking mini game in it.
