Good news, T-Mobile customers: You can claim bragging rights over your friends on other mobile networks... for now. That's because the latest quarterly rankings from Ookla's Speedtest platform (which is owned by Mashable's parent company, J2) placed T-Mobile at the top of the network pack in terms of overall speed. In its first quarter report for 2021, Speedtest shows T-Mobile's performance outpacing rivals AT&T and Verizon. The three networks were ranked by "Speed Score," a metric Speedtest uses that's supposed to be all-encompassing for analyzing network performance. The math is explained on the company's website, but the main thing to know is that the Speed Score weighs download speed very heavily, since that affects user experience more than anything. Since it's just one company's metric, this is by no means a definitive read on which mobile network is the best. These things also fluctuate over time; it should be noted that AT&T — not T-Mobile — was on top in the fourth quarter of 2020. Network expansion, location disparity, and other factors can play into how the rankings shake out over time. Still, if you were wondering how your provider compares to the others, Speedtest is a pretty good indicator. So if you're a T-Mobile customer, you'd be justified in lording these numbers over your friends. We don't recommend that, as they probably won't be your friends for very long if you do it. Your call. Instagram is about to become less of a burden for your phone and your data plan. On Wednesday, Instagram Lite, a stripped-down, lightweight version of Instagram started rolling out in over 170 countries. Announced back in December with a test run in India, Instagram Lite has been in the works for a year, created by Facebook's developer teams in Tel Aviv and New York. The app, available only for Android phones, is designed to provide a "high-quality" Instagram device, even on slower networks and older devices. Some of the animations, transitions, filters and icons have been removed to keep the app fast and nimble; as a result, the app only weighs in at 2MB, as opposed to 30MB which is the size of the full Instagram app for Android. Most of the key features are preserved in the lite version, including video, messaging, GIFs and stickers. And more features, including a "dark mode" look, are in the works. For many users with new phones and fast networks, the standard version will probably be better. But, as Facebook explains, millions of people don't have those luxuries. “No matter where they are, people want to be entertained and inspired by those that they love. It’s difficult to do that on Instagram with an entry-level phone that has storage constraints,” Michelle Lourie, who led the dev team in Tel Aviv, said in a statement. In a video call with reporters, the people who worked on the app described the process of building Instagram Lite as a joint effort from two remote teams. With travel restrictions in place due to the pandemic, the engineers had to use emulators to slow down their fast mobile networks and get them closer to something a user might experience in India and Brazil. Instagram Lite follows Facebook Lite, which was also created by Facebook's Tel Aviv team a few years ago. The app quickly gained popularity, and currently has more than 1 billion installs. The company originally had the app on iOS, too, but it gave up on that version due to limited adoption, which likely explains why Instagram Lite is only available on Android. The Instagram Lite app will be available to download from the Google Play Store starting today. App Store developers that charge exorbitant prices for their apps or in-app purchases better have a good reason to justify it. Apple is looking to crack down on apps that's prices “do not reflect the value of the features and content offered to the user.” Basically, if Apple thinks a developer is charging too much for their app or in-app purchases, the company will reject the app from inclusion in the App Store. These details come from an anonymous app developer who forwarded the email they received from Apple to 9to5Mac. “Charging irrationally high prices for content or services with limited value is a rip-off to customers and is not appropriate for the App Store,” reads the rejection email Apple sent to the tipster. Apple confirmed to Mashable that during its app approval process, the company will reject applications that try to rip-off its users. Apple reiterated that the purpose of its App Store Review Guidelines is to keep the App Store a safe and trusted platform for its users to download apps.

A review of the App Store Review Guidelines found a number of references to apps being rejected for attempting to scam Apple users. “While pricing is up to you, we won’t distribute apps and in-app purchase items that are clear rip-offs,” reads the Business section of the guidelines. “We’ll reject expensive apps that try to cheat users with irrationally high prices.”

Their Developer Code of Conduct also clearly states that “apps should never prey on users or attempt to rip-off customers, trick them into making unwanted purchases, force them to share unnecessary data, raise prices in a tricky manner, charge for features or content that are not delivered, or engage in any other manipulative practices within or outside of the app.”

Apple’s products and services have often been referred to as a “walled garden.” The company requires that all third-party developers’ work match Apple’s standards. Every app in the App Store is reviewed by Apple before its inclusion on the marketplace. Yet still, throughout the years, many scam apps have made it through the approval process and on to the App Store.

Just earlier this month, developer Kosta Eleftheriou uncovered a slew of new scam apps, some of which were making millions of dollars per year. One particular app began signing people up for a $416 per year subscription simply by presenting users with a prompt screen that said “Unlock now” after opening the app for the first time. Mashable has previously reported on numerous App Store scams, such as apps that tricked users into making exorbitant in-app purchases through TouchID on the iPhone.

Another popular tactic with scammers is to coerce a user into signing up for an expensive subscription for a service they don’t want. A particularly egregious example of a scam application was a security and antivirus app called “Mobile protection: Clean & Security VPN.” The app actually didn’t do anything, yet hundreds of users were tricked into signing up for a $99 per week in-app subscription. Before Apple pulled the app from the App Store in 2017, mobile app analytics firm Sensor Tower estimated it was making $80,000 per month.

This letter from Apple appears to be the first time a rejection of this kind has been publicized. Apple seems to be stepping up and cracking down on apps looking to scam users with ridiculously high pricing and hard-to-cancel subscriptions.
