∞ Apple finally gives iPhone devs estimated app approval time

It’s not much, but it’s something. iPhone app developers on Saturday got a little gift from Apple when they logged into their accounts — estimated approval times. appstore2The approval times are based on the number of apps currently in the queue waiting for submission. While not exact, it does let the developers know if they should expect to wait two weeks or six weeks to have their apps approved.

The developer note published on Saturday says that “based on the current app submission, 96 percent of applications are being approved within 14 days.”

The developer note also gives them tips for submitting apps; tips on keyword search, implemented earlier this week; assigning a rating to an app; and editing the app name and changing the rating.
