  • Now-deleted scam app demanded positive review before it even worked

    Stuff like this slips the review process cause the developer used a remote configuration to turn off the features they don't want the reviewers to see. Once it passes review and is released they updated the config to turn them on. Maybe apple should consider a post release review process with a randomized time for check

    The FTC Act prohibits publicly trade companies from lying: 

    https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/statutes/federal-trade-commission-act <--
    https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/statutes/federal-trade-commission-act/ftc_act_incorporatingus_safe_web_act.pdf <--

    Section 45.1 of that act says:
    Unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful.
    Apple may be breaking this act by lying about product release dates (if it did in this case.) It's arguable. The FTC spends a lot of its budget investigating and enforcing this very rule. Investors and stockholders make investment decisions based on rumours like new product announcements. If the rumours are false and intentionally false by Apple, this could be an infraction of the law. If I was Apple, I would limit the false rumours to "less financially important things" like the selection of colours of iMacs.
    Except that apple didn't release anything to the public. They disclosed plans with a number of employees about an upcoming event with mostly likely the usual not to be shared with anyone outside of the company or with other departments not needing to know. Some of those people then ignored their responsibility to protect that info and leaked it.

  • Rogue heart rate app highlights flaws in Apple's closed-door review process

    It's possible that what the reviewer saw and what users are seeing is very different. The developer could have the app contacting a server to see if it's passed review then it shows the misleading version of the app. It's kinda like the Car company's cheating the inspections for emissions, during testing they did things to pass but one in consumers hands they operated differently to what regulators tested.

    If thats the case that they cheated the review process then expect the app to be pulled and the developer suspended.
