showsviralA photo that leaked on Chinese Weibo and went a girl standing in front of dozens of iPhone 5cs , presumably downloading and rating apps on them. This particular “work” (which is probably done in a freezing room as the girl is wearing a jacket and has one arm wrapped to withstand the cold) is apparently particularly… common in China, where, despite Apple’s efforts to address problems with fake reviews in the App Store , these efforts are holding up well.
The American company has prevented attempts at fake reviews through bots, but it seems that it must also turn its attention to entire "factories"from companies in China that appear to offer these services.
On the Internet, we even see their cost on specific pages, which promise a place in the top 10 of free applications for 70,000 Indian rupees (about 10,000 euros) and another 405,000 rupees per week (that is, about 57,500 euros) to keep the application at the “top”. The sites essentially confirm the photo and from what it seems, Apple needs to try harder for the “reliability” of the store and the applications that are uploaded to it.
