Apple® today announced that customers
have downloaded over 50 billion apps* from the revolutionary App
Store℠. Customers are downloading more than 800 apps per second at a
rate of over two billion apps per month on the App Store. The 50
billionth app was Say the Same Thing by Space Inch, LLC, which was
downloaded by Brandon Ashmore from Mentor, Ohio who received a $10,000
App Store Gift Card to commemorate this historic milestone.
“Apple
would like to thank our incredible customers and developers for topping
50 billion apps downloaded,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice
president of Internet Software and Services. “The App Store completely
transformed how people use their mobile devices and created a thriving
app ecosystem that has paid out over nine billion dollars to developers.
We’re absolutely floored to cross this milestone in less than five
years.”
The App Store opened in July 2008 with 500 apps. Since
its introduction, Apple’s incredible developer community has created an
app for doing almost everything imaginable on an iPhone®, iPad® and iPod
touch®.
