No Steve thought nudity was bad business for a high-end brand like Apple.

No I read somewhere reputable, I think in his biography that he though this.

Is Techcrunch reputable enough for you guys?

We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone. Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone.

You know, there’s a porn store for Android. You can download nothing but porn. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That’s a place we don’t want to go – so we’re not going to go there.

Porn isn't the same as nudity. Nick Ut's famous "The Terror of War", showing children fleeing a napalm attack during the Vietnam war, includes a naked girl screaming as the napalm melts layers off her skin.

There is nothing pornographic about that nudity.
