Previously, Apple threw out some 5,000-odd iPhone apps out of the window because they were too risque and naughty in nature. Now they are rejecting iPhone apps that has “minimum user functionality”. According to TechCrunch, Apple does not want iPhone apps created that mimics something a web application can accomplish.

This concerns iPhone apps that are created with “templates” which can be gotten from software generation services, third party entities that created such app will be barred from doing so in the future. Or perhaps now, seeing how serious Apple is in cracking down on these sort of apps.

The reason behind this is because Apple wants to retain iPhone’s exclusivity, in other words they want people to use their iPhones due to its superiority over Web applications. In doing so, iPhone users will be able to accomplish objectives and tasks while fulfilling desires, which are previously not possible to do so over rival platforms such as Android. So if the iPhone gets over-populated with too many apps that mimics web content, the iPhone may not appear to be so exclusive after all.

In related news, Apple is now said to be working hand in hand with AppMakr to boost its range of iphone apps. AppMakr will help to add more features and functionality including offline user access.
