Introducing the new iPhone 13 family recently, Apple is preparing to introduce its new processor, which is expected to be called M1X or M2. The company, which has released iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 versions with its new phones, has also released the second public beta of the new macOS 12 Monterey for its computers. While things seemed to be going well, The Verge released reports revealing that some of the App Store apps are malicious.
Apple gave a quick response on this issue. The App Store update, which will come as part of iOS 15 and iPadOS, will bring an option to report fraud or fraud about the application in question. It will be possible to do this on both free and in-app purchases, as well as paid applications.
Lawsuit shock to Apple: Is he deliberately ignoring the issue?
Earlier this year, the Washington Post featured a similar story in its column. The famous newspaper said that some applications on the App Store offer unnecessary software to customers, and this is quite suspicious. Then, he shared that dozens of fraudulent dating apps and games that took money from users even though they were in a useless state, and that the game had made unfair profits of close to 48 million dollars so far, and their number was increasing.

Recently, in The Verge, he shared the lawsuit filed against Apple by App Store critic Kosta Eleftheriou with his readers. The main subject of the accusation was that Apple was aware of these fraudulent applications and games.
Apple has been sued, accusing it of being aware of how they earn their revenue, but ignoring them because of the high earnings, as many of these fraudulent apps have been added to bestseller lists.
These apps allegedly attract users by posting thousands of fake 5-star reviews. Then, it is included in the list of free applications and allows users to install the application on their devices. However, users are asked to re-subscribe afterwards. Many different features are promised and a fee is demanded. When users realize that they have fallen into this trap, they have already made the payment.
How will malicious apps be reported?
The new feature, details of which were shared on Twitter by Kosta Eleftheriou and Richard Mazkewich, shows that previous problem reporting options have been improved. It’s no longer just about reporting suspicious activity, reporting a quality issue, asking for a refund, or finding my content.
We were able to provide a similar feedback after purchasing the app or in-app services before. However, now, even if it is a paid app, you will be able to report directly if you suspect something fraudulent before making a purchase.
