Apple said it has the right to remove apps from the App Store that do not attract users

The company framed this position ahead of WWDC 2026 and tied it to App Store oversight and the Apple Developer Program. The article suggests Apple is defending its right to clean up low-performing apps rather than announcing a new product.
