You couldn’t have expected this from Apple. Its newly released iOS 10 operating system seems to be hiding real porn inside. iOS 10 has a new GIF search feature to help iPhone users post GIFs directly into iMessage. But somehow, hardcore porn seems to be baked into the same. If you type the word “butt” into iOS 10’s new, baked-in GIF search, it leads you to a certain My Little Pony in a fairly compromised position....
