Early Apple Vision Pro Adopters Alarmed to Learn VR Porn Doesn't Work

I'm surprised there's not just an app that can play those videos...?
Most likely there won't be any app that plays porn videos because Apple will not allow them. From the article:
> Steve Jobs notoriously believed that the company had a “moral responsibility” to block porn and suggested that “folks who want porn can buy an Android.”
And general movie playing apps might also be required to implement a porn filter. Remember Apple insisted that all Reddit and Tumblr apps have such a filter, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed in the Apps Store, the only way to distribute apps.
If you believe tech battles are decided whether there is access to porn (VHS vs Beta comes to mind), the Apple Vision Pro currently doesn't look like a winner.
That didn't really happen, to quote from a post from the host of Technology Connections:
> "I didn't include a section on "how lack of porn killed Beta" because _this is a myth_. Many people have heard tales that Sony didn't allow porn to be released on Beta, and that's nothing but an urban legend. There was indeed "back-room" content available on Beta, but far far less of it simply because fewer people had Beta machines than VHS. Porn represented a small percentage of sales on both VHS and Beta, so it's unlikely many people based their decision on what format to buy based on availability of adult content."
The myth reverses cause and effect.
