An app developer’s lawsuit over App Store rejections, scams and fraud has ended in a settlement agreement after court filings show a request to dismiss the suit earlier this summer. The plaintiff, app developer and former Pinterest engineer Kosta Eleftheriou, made a name for himself in recent months calling out some of the most egregious App Store scams. This later culminated in a lawsuit of his own against Apple, filed in California’s Superior Court in Santa Clara County in March 2021, where he alleged his own app had been unfairly rejected from the App Store and then later targeted by scammers, leading to lost revenues.

It's the weekend before iPhone day. I wonder how many software teams over at Apple are furiously working over the weekend to get things ready for the hands-on demos, and how many software temas are furiously working over the weekend to get things ready for the new iOS later this month.
I hope that we will be surprised and delighted with new software stuff; these are not things that easily leak to the press. After all, we still haven't see the new Apple Classical app. And rumors are telling us that Apple will launch a new service this year too.
