Apple has revealed significant figures about its App Store's fraud prevention measures, claiming to have stopped over $9 billion in fraudulent transactions in the last five years. In 2024, Apple alone prevented $2 billion in fraudulent dealings and blocked nearly 2 million risky app submissions. With recent legal changes allowing some developers to use alternative payment methods, the company warns that while major players benefit, small developers may struggle with fraud and fees, making Apple's commission worthwhile.
