This is a big fat lie. Apple pretends to do this and spends millions to make people think this, but there are so many scamming, badly coded, malware Apps in the Apple App store it is hard to believe that Apple does anything at all.

Apple Faces Developer Lawsuit After Defying App Store Injunction

Out of all the apps in the App Store what percentage do you estimate have their true intention as being scamware?
If it’s so easy to stop scamware, how come all of this phishing stuff is on the rise on all fronts.
You got downvoted for something verifiably and documented to be true, the amount of water people carry for Apple around here is astounding. You'd think people would want Apple to meet the high bar they raised for themselves. This isn't just people blowing off steam, it's saying, "hey all that stuff you say. Heck, all the stuff you've done in the past- we hold you to that high standard." I'd want to get paid to be a sycophant and AstroTurf forums
Edit: come to think of it, could be a bot, dead internet is a real thing as we've done to understand lately. It happens to reddit why not a high profile forum like this
No you are referring to different types of products returned to the user as a result of e-commerce taking place. To me that is a natural progression or refinement as time went on.
Imo, the downvote may have happened because op didn’t take into account every process is not perfect. Cops aren’t going to catch all speeders. Windows is not going to stop all bugs. Apple is not going to stop all bad apps.
As astounding it is for the amount of water people carry for Apple, it’s equally astounding the other way. The amount of unjust criticism. I guess the nature of the online universe.
amazing podcast recommendation! anyone who’s interested in this legal battle should give that episode a try. It really shows how Apple acted in an extremely greedy fashion and basically broke the law.
thank you!
Jason and Myke were on fire this week, love Upgrade specifically and Relay in general
This is what malicious compliance results in.
Don't really think it can be spun any other way. Apple is what it does
Let's see what excuse they give.

Apple’s phones would be much less successful without app developers. They even had an ad called “There’s an app for that” to get people excited about the iPhone
My understanding, although I’m not a lawyer, is that you must still comply with court orders even if you’re appealing
Developers would have much reduced revenue without Apple low cost hosting solution. Apple made millions for some devs.
Sounds like they need each other. So Apple should stop being a controlling parasite
Apple is the business owner. For devs who feel they are being used by a “controlling parasite” they are using the wrong business model.
