Apple Will Not Regulate Free iPhone Apps

Boston (dbTechno) - According to reports, Apple will not regulate any free iPhone applications which will be developed with the iPhone SDK, set to be announced Thursday. They will, however, keep a tight grip of commercial iPhone applications.

It was reported last week that Apple would retain control over all applications released and developed with the iPhone SDK. Sources stated that Apple was going to pretty much regulate all content, but now stories are changing.

Electronista.com is reporting that their sources have confirmed that iPhone apps will be treated differently. IT has been noted that iPhone applications will have to go through an approval process, only if they are commercial applications, meaning only if they will carry a fee.

It is believed that free iPhone applications will pretty much be able to fly under the radar and be released almost without any hiccups.

All iPhone applications though, free or not free, will be released through iTunes, which should give Apple a significant boost in visitors to the online store.

More will be announced on Thursday during Apple’s press event for the Apple iPhone SDK.
