It would be hard for me to hate a company more, but:
After all the political censorship
After the upgrade-proof machines
The control-oriented specs
The yesterday's equipment at tomorrow's prices
And now this?
Burn, Apple. You had one good idea and you blew it.

Haters gonna hate.
As to "one good idea", count again.
Blew it? Most companies all over the world would love to blow it as Apple has done.

Ah, fake news...
Just did an app search on "cigar" using the one and only Apple App Store utilizing my iPhone X.
And.
Dozens of available apps for cigar lovers, who, should go be snowflakes elsewhere.
Included in the search was "Big Smoke 2017: Cigar Aficionado's Big Smoke" describing in great detail the map of exhibitors, location of events, ways to share photos (of your phallic hobby), and so forth and so on. Too many details to bother with here... this pipe forum.
Many more cigar app offerings to find cigars on sale, share the cigar lifestyle etc etc etc.
Also likely many apps showing Hillary's and Bernie's favorite cigar smoking interests (as Bill would be too obvious)... well, because it's Apple.

Here is one of the policy guidelines for submitting an App to Apple. I would say this lends credence to the authenticity of Cigar Aficionado's article.
https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
1.4.3 Apps that encourage consumption of tobacco products, illegal drugs, or excessive amounts of alcohol are not permitted on the App Store. Apps that encourage minors to consume any of these substances will be rejected. Facilitating the sale of marijuana, tobacco, or controlled substances (except for licensed pharmacies) isn’t allowed.

Screw Apple. Since I dropped my iPad in the pool while cleaning it, I've not been using that piece of rubbish. But, they should make the app into a web-based download, or just use web-based technology.
"The app" ----what app? What is it you seek to do?
Or was it a joke that you dropped your iPad and are mad at Apple??

The article mentioned it was still available to use the web and that the app was available for Android. Apple users can still use it, just not get app software updates.
I find it ironic, irritating, and sad that in their superior wisdom these doo-gooders (pun intended) deign to lump tobacco together with "illegal drugs," and yet give alcohol a qualified pass.
I love watching this company burn:

Maybe people were happier when they drank like fish, smoked like chimneys, ate full fat food, and stopped their neurotic minds from worrying about dying all the time.
Not all people are equally sane/intelligent/good. Surely some are happiest when submerged in feces.
Generally we call them "voters."

I don't know of any pipe-smokers who, under the influence of their preferred tobaccos, drive and then damage, maim, or kill, nor any who (again under their tobaccos' influence) abuse or murder their loved ones.
