For the first time, Apple stated the reason for rejecting nearly 1 million apps

Nearly 1 million apps won’t be able to get through Apple’s control doors to reach the App Store in 2020.

CEO Tim Cook speaks at WWDC 2018 (Image: Getty Images) This is the first time Apple publish this data. It is a sign of “defective apple” becoming more transparent in the process of approving and rejecting iPhone applications under pressure from many countries. Thanks to the application review system, comparing with the App Store regulatory list, the company can keep iPhone users safe from fraud, malware or poor experience. Apple also published some notable figures for 2020. Accordingly, the manufacturer Iphone rejected nearly 1 million applications submitted for the first time; deny nearly 1 million application updates. 48,000 applications removed due to use of “hidden or unreported features”; 150,000 applications removed for spam or other application copying; 215,000 apps removed for collecting too much user data or violating privacy; 95,000 applications were removed due to phishing, usually they change to other types of applications such as gambling, porn. 470,000 accounts disabled from the developer program for phishing. Additionally, last month, Apple declined 3.2 million app downloads using an enterprise license. This is how large businesses often use to circumvent the App Store law to install internal apps on employees’ iPhones. Currently, the lawsuit between Apple and Epic Games is taking place. Game maker Fortnite denounces the App Store as a “closed garden”, hurting developers, and Apple discriminates against many. Epic Games also confirmed that Apple’s process is not perfect, sometimes approving malware. Apple employees themselves have admitted their process is not good enough to prevent scams. At the trial, Apple said, combining 500 automated reviewers and testers to review nearly 5 million applications per year, from 2017 to 2019 (updates included), the rate from declined from 33% to 36%. The flaws are too small for the size of the App Store. Apple sees the App Store as a fundamental, irreplaceable part of its business. This is the only way for users to install software on the iPhone. Apple’s attorney argued that if users let users download apps from outside the App Store the way Android is doing, they would be at risk of security. Apple doesn’t want to be Android.
