And it is that an application called Rewound that imitated the design of an iPod Classic did not last long in the Apple application store. The Cupertino company removed it from the store a few hours ago arguing a copy of its iconic product and this cannot be allowed by Apple. The application would allow turn the iPhone design into an iPod Classic with the legendary Click Wheel.
Apple has its reasons for withdrawing the app and it is that according to the application developers themselves, the literal copy of the iPod Classic design would have been the trigger. So all those who downloaded the app in their day for free may no longer be able to use it, some 170.000 people. The developers say they are already working on a design change for the app, so that it returns to the Apple app store as soon as possible.
Rewound wants to return to the App Store as soon as possible and that is why the development team of this application is already working on it. It seems that a change in the design of the application would allow us to return to the application, but we will have to see this and it is that the exact copy of the iPod Classic design it can weigh down the development team in future releases. Everything remains to be seen but Apple is clear that this type of application cannot exist since its users could be confused and believe that it is something official when it really is not.
So far the developers have opened a campaign in GoFoundMe To collect funds and work again on a renewed Rewound, we will see if the app ends up arriving again in the Apple store as the days go by, what does seem clear is that they will try to launch the app in the Android app store , store in which surely they do not have so many problems to copy the design. We will see if it reaches the App Store again or not, Did you have it installed on your iPhone?
