       | 
       | As of 2021, the total Apps on iOS App Store is ~2 Million. And
       | Apple rejected 1 _million_ problematic new apps in 2020 _alone_.
       | 
       | Ever since the Qualcomm case, I only pay attention to actual
       | evidence and deposition in court. Literally every thing Apple (
       | Tim Cook ) said in the public was either lying by omission or
       | purposely bending the truth for their benefits. And before anyone
       | jumps in about Steve Jobs being the same, the two are very very
       | different.
       | 
       | So I think those numbers needs to be taken with some healthy dose
       | of cynicism.
