How much time apple takes to approve iphone application ? (approximate).
Is it possible to know how many applications are currently in a queue (waiting for review) ?
And out of those applications, where my application is ???

I think this question is a good question for [e-mail], or [e-mail]…

If I’m not wrong, the process is a little bit complicated, some apps can have a really quick review and enter in the store in a few days, others can took a lot of time like some weeks and, if you are an exception, months.

I only know that the process is strictly related to the category of the App. If your app do something that is already did by another app in the store, the process will be a little bit longer than a new and original app. The other standards used to select which app has to be reviewed before another one, are still unknown.

Unfortunately, this information, is non official and probably Apple will never confirm that. I got this information during a meeting in Switzerland by a guy who has met some guys of the Apple review team and like every info provided “at second hand”, it needs to take precautions before considering as truth.
