Apple has apologised after a "deeply offensive" game for the iPhone called "Baby Shaker" was approved for sale in the company's online store.

The application, which appeared in Apple's App Store on Monday and cost US99 cents ($A1.40) to download, allowed a user to violently shake an iPhone screen to make a baby stop crying.

After enough shakes, the hand-drawn baby displayed on the screen stopped wailing and a large red "X" appeared over each eye.

"This application was deeply offensive and should not have been approved for distribution on the App Store," Apple said in a statement on Thursday.

How come someone always thinks up the easy money-making iPhone apps before I do ...

What exactly did Apple think this was when they allowed it to be sold as an app?
