Apple removes copies of popular products from App Store

Fake apps copying top mobile software

 

Apple perhaps knows better than any company that app ripoffs are everywhere. The consumer electronics powerhouse has been pulling several fake apps from its store as plagiarised apps have been a hot topic in recent days.

While Apple is known for screening apps before they are allowed to sprout up in its walled garden, clearly fake apps do get in. Once they do, getting them out depends on developers who raise a fuss. In the meantime, some consumers get confused and shell out money thinking they're getting the real app, when they're actually buying a counterfeit.
