Apple's Phil Schiller Works 80 Hours a Week Overseeing App Store (www.macrumors.com)

Though Schiller transitioned from marketing chief to "Apple Fellow" in 2020 to take a step back from Apple and spend more time on personal projects and friends, he is reportedly working close to 80 hours a week.

Schiller is known for responding to emails almost immediately, and answering phone calls at all hours. He testified during the Epic v. Apple lawsuit to ardently defend the ‌App Store‌, and he is involved in Apple's EU messaging as well. Schiller joined in on Apple PR calls with members of the media when the iOS 17.4 changes were announced, and he spent time explaining how the DMA will impact user privacy and security in Europe.

Lots of shovelware. Lots of apps that are just websites wrapped in an app wrapper. Stuff slipping through that are obvious copies of other apps. Malicious apps getting through the approval process. Piracy apps getting through the approval process. Support links on app pages that lead to nowhere.

What are some piracy apps that have gotten through?

My biggest complaint is all the apps without recurring costs that are subscription-based.

It has gotten challenging to find good and useful apps that aren't just a bunch of the worst dark patterns mixed together these days.
