On: Apple Answers the FCC’s Questions

[lacker]

I'm surprised that Apple rejects 20% of all submissions. That number seems huge!

We receive about 8,500 new applications and updates every week, and roughly 20% of them are not approved as originally submitted.

No wonder complaints are so common.

It's submissions, not applications. I'd expect the majority of the apps whose submissions were rejected to be updated and resubmitted.
