Apple ‘pulls gambling apps from China App Store’

Apple has removed thousands of gambling apps from its China app store, according to reports.

The tech giant would not confirm reports suggesting it had pulled 25,000 apps, but in a statement the firm said “gambling apps are illegal and not allowed on the App Store in China”.

The cull follows criticism from state broadcaster CCTV for not doing enough to filter out banned material.

Apple currently offers more than 1.8 million apps in China.
