APPLE has apologised for selling a “deeply offensive” iPhone game that simulated shaking a baby.
The application, which appeared in Apple’s App Store on Monday and cost $US0.99 ($1.40) to download, allowed a user to violently shake an iPhone screen to make a baby stop crying.
After enough shakes, the hand-drawn baby on the screen stopped wailing and a large red “X” appeared over each eye.
Apple’s apology came one day after The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation, a New York-based group which seeks to prevent brain injuries from Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), strongly condemned the Baby Shaker application, which was submitted by an outside developer called Sikalosoft.
