While Apple has been having even more trouble than Samsung keeping up with the fast-growing global smartphone shipment numbers of major Chinese vendors like Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo, the Cupertino-based tech giant still relies on that particular market for a large chunk of its app revenue.

Obviously, the company is keeping a close watch on this big cash cow, frequently cleaning it up of titles that could weaken the security of iPhones and iPads sold regionally, as well as anything else that goes against local laws and regulations.
