Apple has a series of illegal moving streaming services on the App Store. Apple critic and developer Kosta Eleftheriou’s latest findings reveal that the App Store houses some streaming apps with pirated movies. He revealed in his tweets that the apps claim to be legitimate services, they use movie trailers and photo filters to fool users. Eleftheriou has claimed that these apps had garnered more than 2 million installs and are generating a lot of revenue.

In a series of tweets, app developer Kosta Eleftheriou explained how Apple’s App Store is home to fake streaming apps that house pirated movies. He revealed that the app encourages users to enter codes or share the app to unlock more features. The fake streaming apps also have premium subscription plans that are processed through Apple Pay. Apple apparently takes a 15-30 percent cut from the in-app purchases. He went on to add that the apps are available on the App Store despite being labelled as illegal in the reviews section. All the apps pretend to be something else.
