Apple goes back on its word, puts NIN App in the App Store

NIN The Downward Spiral

A few days ago, Trent Reznor of NIN posted angrily on the NIN forums about how his app got rejected by the guys over at Apple.  Since he posted his rant on a public forum, you can imagine the news spread like wildfire.  The irony in this situation is that Apple claims the app contains objectionable material, yet they sell his album on iTunes, albeit it comes with an explicit tag.

Many blogs covered this story backing up Trent Reznor has Apple should have approved the app, and just add an explicit tag.  Today, Trent Reznor tweeted “NEWS FLASH: Apple has approved the NIN iPhone app update. Should be live in a few hours.” 

It seems Apple received plenty of complaints not only from NIN fans, but people on the outside who feel Apple should not have acted in such a manner.  Not to mention all the negative press they were receiving from this manner.  It just goes to show that even the best of them makes honest mistakes, but at least Apple did the right thing at last.  If you can believe it, “The NIN iPhone app is unchanged, the ‘issues’ seem to have been resolved.”

Way to go Trent (and all NIN fans), for sticking it to the man.
