A Chinese worker with close to 100 iPhones reveals how App Store rankings can be manipulated

A disturbing image allegedly showing a worker manipulating App Store rankings has gone viral, it’s a place where devs can pay for their apps’ download numbers to be artificially inflated.

The photo in question appears to show a worker at one such place, sitting in front of what look like around 100 iPhone 5c units. Reports claim that her job is download, install, and uninstall specific apps repeatedly to boost their App Store rankings.

The alleged price sheet claims that a person looking to get into the top 10 free apps list is looking at spending $11,200. To stay there, they will then need to shell out $65,000 per week.
