On iTunes, Sex Doesn't Sell?

After a winter purge in which it rid its iTunes store of apps with sexual or other material deemed racy, is Apple lightening up?

Given Apple’s supposed nudity ban, some were surprised to see the June iPhone/iPad version of GQ ($4.99 per issue) with cover model Miranda Kerr dressed down to her stockings and a deep tan. Cosmopolitan has a saucy Sex Position of the Day ($1.99), with step-by-step instructions and colorful illustrations. Apple also is cool with Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit app, updated in May, with little more than videos of its models.
