    Is this question for real?

    Anyways to seriously answer your question, we don't know. Most usually take around 2 weeks more or less but it could also take months.

    Rumor is it only takes about ten minutes for Apple to review an app. In most cases, it takes 10-15 days to make it all the way through the line.

    Yeah, that sounds about right. All my updates/submissions so far have been around the 10-15 day mark. When they "actually" test the game, its probably only 10-15 mins like Little White Bear Studios mentioned.

    No, it wasn't stupid. So you know, I am a developer for the AppStore. Secondly, we received official information from Apple that 2 review people look at an application for review and it generally takes 10 - 15 minutes to "review" the app itself, which I believe was the original question.

    The actual time from submission varies between 8 - 21 days for approval.
     
  14. My app was just approved -- the whole process took about 9 days, which was quicker than I expected :)
