Nope, you missread my numbers.

I assume it takes one person 2 weeks to fully analyze an app (we are after all looking for well hidden malware, possibly downloaded from network after some use). Times 2.2 million apps. Times an average of 3 updates during its life time.

There are not enough apple employees to pull what you calim. Hence approval is semi automatic, just like Google.

Edit: 1 billion changed to 2.2 million, my bad.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Tell literally any third-party Apple developer that app review is automatic and you'll be laughed out of the room. Your math is way off.
don't agree with my math? Show me your own numbers.

I feel you are just hiding your head in the sand instead of doing the sensible thing which is to ask apple to analyze this companys apps and report to public whether​ app store was affected.

I don't need to show you my numbers, because it's literally public knowledge that Apple manually reviews all apps and updates, and every single third-party developer can confirm this. If your app is set up with any sort of analytics you can even see when the reviewer looks at your app!
