David Hanak With the ever-increasing number of iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch and all kinds of Macs sold, Apple does not only make money from their sales. Revenues from accompanying services such as Apple Music, iCloud and the (Mac) App Store are also growing more and more.

In addition to these data, several other interesting numbers appeared in the press release.

Developers were paid $2017 billion in all of 26,5, a more than 30% increase over the previous year.

A greater focus on the quality of the applications offered, together with a new system of reviews and subsequent feedback from developers, is said to attract more than half a billion people to the App Store every week.
