Apple has removed the popular Kimi app from its App Store, which allowed users to stream bootlegged movies and TV shows under the guise of a vision-testing game. The app, which ranked above major streaming services, offered a wide selection of pirated content without requiring payment or account login. The developer, listed as "Marcus Evans," remains a mystery, and Apple has not commented on the situation.
