Apple’s App Store prevented more than $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions in 2020
Apple often talks about their App Store being a highly secure platform for mobile applications for their customers. In a recent blog post, the company claims to have prevented nearly $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions in 2020, protecting customers from theft of their money, information, and time.
Some of the key protections that Apple made possible via the App Store were:
Nearly 1 million problematic (unfinished or not functioning properly) new apps, and an additional nearly 1 million app updates, were rejected or removed.
48,000 apps rejected by App Review team for containing hidden or undocumented features, and more than 150,000 spam, copycats apps were rejected.
