Apple is in the middle of a nasty, public war against Epic Games which has also caused companies like Microsoft to join in the chorus of voices speaking out against Apple’s App Store policies. Through all the lawsuits and countersuits, and Epic’s blatant lies, Apple has updated its App Store website to shed some light on the sheer number of app reviews it commits to every week, and how they turn out.
That’s not all though, the company says it removed a whopping 1 million submissions for objectionable, harmful, unsafe, or illegal content. And, it removed 2 million apps that hadn’t been updated , or didn’t work with its latest software releases.
The company also shed some light on its efforts to ensure the App Store reviews were on point and not misleading, or outright spam. Apple’s reviewers removed 60 million user reviews that were considered spam in 2020 alone, and the year isn’t even over yet.
