Tomas Chlebek The App Store can claim another record in its history - 10 billion downloaded applications. It took exactly 926 days to achieve this feat, or 2 and a half years since its launch on July 10, 2008.
The iTunes online store was launched on April 28, 2003. It took almost seven years to reach the same number of downloads. Louie Sulcer, then 10, of Woodstock, won a $000 Gift Card, an iPod touch and a Macbook Pro thanks to the song "Guess Things Happen That Way" by Johnny Cash. Even Steve Jobs himself congratulated him by phone.
The counter stopped running on Apple.com on Saturday, January 22nd. The XNUMX billionth app was downloaded from the App Store by Gail Davis from Great Britain. A free game helped him win Paper Glider. He won an iTunes Gift Card worth 10 dollars (converted to 000 crowns).
In 2008, the app store, which started with 500 applications, reached 10 million downloads just 4 days after its launch, and 5 billion downloaded applications were exceeded at the beginning of June last year. The last billion for the jubilee ten took him only a week!
There are currently more than 40 applications in the App Store.
"With more than 10 billion app downloads in two and a half years and a staggering 7 billion downloads in the last year alone, the App Store has surpassed our wildest dreams" says Philip Schiller, vice president of worldwide product marketing. “The App Store is revolutionizing the way software is created, distributed, discovered and sold. While others try to copy the App Store, it continues to provide developers and users with the most innovative experience in the world.”
