> But Apple tells [us] that what we think we’re seeing in these emails isn’t quite accurate. [It did happen, but], the company says the reality was a simple mistake: the Files app had a Dropbox integration, so Apple put “Dropbox” into the app’s metadata, and it was automatically ranked higher for “Dropbox” searches as a result. [We also] immediately fixed the error. Trust us. We accidentally boosted all of our own apps in the rankings. For a year. Starting just before our annual developer conference. Where we unveiled one of said boosted apps. We'd never intentionally give ourselves an unfair and anti-competitive edge. By shoving our competition behind the first page. Even though the search was specifically for the app that we hid. Accidentally. When have we ever lied to you? Or been forcibly revealed dozens of times by lawyers and the CEO of a disgruntled company? Puh-lease. Trust us.
