Knowing of Apple's review process for each app (and each update) and seeing the number 1.4 million made me wonder how many employee's Apple has reviewing.
My initial guess was that it must be quite high but a little research [0] turned up some interesting results. It turns out the app review team is pretty understaffed and has to deal with absolute trash all the time. It also clarified the pornography policy, which, according to the article, is a way to expedite the review process. I wonder if the strictness of the policy came about because of the clogged app review process or just happened to help alleviate that particular process after the fact.
Of course, this is relatively anecdotal, coming from one former employee, and published in 2012 but I found it interesting. I do respect Apple's unwillingness to compromise on quality here.
