App Store Hits 50 Billion Downloads – How Many Do You Have?
All has been fairly quiet on the Apple front lately, typical of this time of year. Everyone at Apple is tucked away developing and fine-tuning the next gadget. Meanwhile, the App store continues to bring in big money for Apple and app developers worldwide. We download 800 apps per second!
The 50 billionth app was downloaded by Brandon Ashmore from Ohio and he was rewarded with a $10,000 app store gift card. The app he downloaded was ‘Say the Same Thing’.
Since opening in 2008 with just 500 apps available, the app store has grown to have more than 850,000 apps currently. In comparison, the Google Play Store has 500,000 and the Windows Phone store has just 120,000. The Apple app store continues to grow at a very fast rate, we will be at 1 million apps soon enough.
With so many apps available, it is very easy to end up with a phone full of apps. At last count I had about 90, can anyone beat that? With 850,000 apps out there I want to know how many you have, comment below.…
