Majority of Apps released are being reviewed/released the same day?

Question

If you look at the release dates (when they get submitted), they are generally the same day that they hit the AppStore.
I verified this by looking at one of my apps, and the "release date" was the same day I submitted it. However it showed up in the app store (10 days later) .. therefore I believe that the release date is actually accurate.
What does this mean?
I believe it means that most apps that hit the appstore are getting churned out the same day. If you don't get released on the same day, you might be in for a very long wait, or there is something wrong with you / your app.
Some ideas:
- App that is uninteresting to the reviewers
- It's your second+ app
- Bad reviews / low popularity for existing apps
- Problems with the App
It's an interesting problem. It's unclear to me that there is a solution, except to write high quality, innovative, interesting apps that your pretty sure Apple will like and will get reviewed well / be popular .. which I suppose, isn't such a bad thing, all considered.

Answer 1

My first app took 8 days to go from review to pending contract. It's been pending contract for 3 days now.
I find it unlikely a lot of apps are getting to the store in 1 day.

This contradicts your whole point I think. If your app took 10 days from the release/submit date then why do you think so many apps are going to the store the day they are submitted. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your statement.
