User should do things such as :
1. Don't download/use unpopular wallet application.
2. Beware when use centralized wallet or decentralized wallet but isn't open source.
3. Check review of that wallet and see their official website.

I think this could be very serious problem in future if apple can't find a way to detect scam wallet, but i think this can be solved if bitcoin community who use iOS can help report malicious, scam or dangerous any bitcoin application Roll Eyes

Just keep on reporting it, at one stage these scammers will get the message. We cannot police Apple, but we can police the stuff they

are pushing through their platform. We just need to keep on being vigilant and also educating people about these scams. You can also

direct them to this site --> http://www.badbitcoin.org/thebadlist/

Perhaps there'll come a time when they tell all new prospective crypto related wallets to bugger off. There's nothing much in it for them and it's a ball ache.

That is weird, usualy Apple doesn't act so when it comes to fake and scam apps, they do their due dilligence and they don't support them. This is bad publicity for the company. If this is done on purpose they would certainly lose some clients. But what use would Apple has of that?

Makes sense for them to allow scammers on to their app site,it achieves two goals. One it discourages people from using bitcoin and the other is it advertises applepay by showing how bad certain aspects of bitcoin can be. Its actually typical of Apple and the conquer the world agenda they push with each product release. Every little aspect is chewed over to bring more money into their pockets.

Was watching the news this morning and they where showing a trend right now of people setting the timer on their cell and throwing the phone in the air and it taking a photo. How many cell phones you think will break achieving this dumb trend? Now you think it was a cell phone company that started the trend! Cheesy

Recently Apple approved two applications called Ocean and AlphaWallet that are structurally designed to steal Bitcoin from users. Although Apple has been removing a substantial number of suspicions apps on its app store, the consistent emergence of obvious scam applications are beginning to concern the Bitcoin community.

IPhone and other Apple device users have had serious issues with scam Bitcoin applications on the Apple App store that are designed to extract and steal user funds. The company’s inability to filter scam-like apps is creating a poor ecosystem for Bitcoin users.
