Overall, Apple removed 851 apps in the year between July 2018 and June 2019, and the vast majority of requests came from China.
among other Chinese apps in June, the apps were removed from both the App Store and Play Store in that country within hours.by saying: "We would rather not remove apps, but like we do in other countries we follow the law wherever do we business."
Although a wide variety of countries make requests, the leader by far in Apple's stats is China, the target of Trump's executive order. Activists in China have long pointed to Apple's App Store as a choke point that prevents Chinese residents from accessing news or privacy apps from outside the country.
In a letter to Congress last month, the group said that Apple uses its "walled garden operating ecosystem" to censor the App Store in China and around the world at the government's behest., 15 different countries requested a total of 1,311 apps to be removed in 150 separate requests over "legal violations," or alleging that the apps broke the law inside the country.
