Apple gives insight on App Reviews
From New York Times: "Apple receives 8,500 new applications and updates to applications each week. The company employs a team of 40 full-time trained reviewers, and each application is independently evaluated by two separate reviewers before getting a green light. The company said that 95 percent of iPhone applications are approved within 14 days of being submitted."
So based on these numbers, and given a 5 day work week, there are 1700 reviews per day that are looked at by two people. On a normal work day of about 8 hours, this gives only 5-6 minutes of review time for each app by two people. This is pretty crazy. My app was update was waiting patiently for 16 days to get rejected for some dumb error...and it took them only 5-6 minutes to figure it out.
I wonder at what point Apple says is a critical mass to beef up their support. i am sure their billions can handle the overhead, no?
