The platform also enforced strict review processes for new applications and developer accounts. Apple rejected more than 2 million problematic app submissions out of 9.1 million reviewed last year. The company terminated 193,000 developer accounts and blocked an additional 138,000 enrollment attempts due to fraud concerns.
User engagement metrics were also heavily moderated to maintain platform integrity. Apple blocked nearly 195 million ratings and reviews out of 1.3 billion processed in 2025. These measures aim to ensure that user feedback on the store remains authentic and reliable for consumers.
The reported figures demonstrate a continued focus on ecosystem security across global markets. The data covers worldwide operations without regional restrictions or specific product version identifiers.
