What apps does Apple sell in the App Store that used to be sold by third parties, but were then banned?

F.lux. The examples are countless.

Well, not sold in this case, but given away for free to increase the moat, then banned.

Look at how the Notes app has evolved… There are apps for scanning documents, for example which are now superseded.

The Music app which now has a streaming service…

Spotify is still in the App Store, and iTunes/Apple Music existed long before Spotify.

Spotify launched in 2006. Apple Music: 2015.

iTunes is not a subscription service like Spotify.
