Extreme Measures

The total ban of the industry from the iOS App Store signifies that the company has been receiving complaints from users of the applications. Attention on the product has increased materially over the past several months, with many brokers leaving the market or dramatically downsizing.

Since regulatory authorities have not been efficient enough in preventing binary options fraud, Apple has taken matters into its own hands and decided that wiping out the product from the App Store wholesale is the correct way to address user complaints.

Apple’s take on binary options is yet another blow to the industry at this crucial time and will cost all brokers that have been investing in developers of mobile applications. The efforts of the teams will now have to be directed towards a web mobile solution that is good enough to allow traders to place orders and monitor their accounts in adherence with all regulatory requirements.

Apple’s decision comes after the company unveiled new hardware and software at its annual developers forum in California. The tech giant has updated its list of tablet computers, presenting a new 10.5 inch size iPad Pro that could be very interesting for professional traders and users of mobile trading platforms.
