It's having a bumpy ride in China, and now Apple's finding that the iPhone is catching the eye of an Asian governmental organisation in the form of the Korean Game Rating Board.
According to The Korean Herald, all games need to be screened and rated by the board in terms of possible violent or sexual content; something that is yet to happen in terms of the App Store.
"We asked Apple to open its games category and get its games rated, but Apple shows no signs of doing so," an official of the Game Rating Board told The Korea Herald.
Indeed, it's reported that Apple has tried to get around the issue by removing the Korean App Store's games category, placing games within the entertainment category.
Since its launch three weeks ago, the iPhone has sold around 150,000 units in Korea.
