According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, "The reality is that the web in some areas has become a dark place."
That was a comment he made recently to The New York Times' Kara Swisher, during an interview with her for her Sway podcast -- an interview that also included Cook addressing the situation around Apple's $64 billion App Store, among many other topics. "In any given week," according to Cook, "100,000 applications come into the app review. Forty thousand of them are rejected. Most of them are rejected because they don’t work or don’t work like they say that they work. You can imagine if curation went away, what would occur to the App Store in a very short amount of time." This sounds pretty good until you hear from a mobile app developer like Kosta Eleftheriou, who's become one of the App Store's biggest critics. Separate from a lawsuit he filed last month related to the App Store, accusing Apple of wielding monopoly power and running roughshod over small app developers like him, he's called out Apple repeatedly for app scams and other problematic applications that Apple has allowed into the store that have ended up fleecing many consumers.
