Apple prides itself on the App Store, especially in light of regulations forcing it to accept third party app stores. Apple claims that its strict control means the App Store is the best and safest way to download iPhone apps. But not even Apple is perfect, exemplified by the fact a secret piracy slipped through and went undetected for months.
As reported by The Verge, there used to be an app called Kimi on the App Store. While it claimed to be a simple vision testing app, Kimi was only using this as a cover. The reality was it was an app for watching pirated movies, which will explain why Kimi shot up to 8th place on the App Store’s top free entertainment app list.
