Apple picker According to the latest reports from Asymco, the average cost of running iTunes is $75 million per month. This is more than double from 2009, when the average monthly cost was approximately $30 million per month.
The rise in costs can be attributed to the implementation of new features as well as 18 million app downloads per day. I'll just remind you of the information that was given at the September keynote. About 200 apps are downloaded from iTunes per second!
At this point, the total annual operating costs are somewhere around $900 million, and as iTunes and its content continue to grow, the $1 billion mark is sure to be crossed soon.
These costs cover, for example, the ability to pay from the 160 million credit cards registered to user accounts and the management of all downloadable content that users download to 120 million iOS devices.
To date, iTunes has sold more than 450 million TV shows, 100 million movies, countless songs and 35 million books. Collectively, people have downloaded 6,5 billion apps. That's one app for every person on the planet.
We can only hope that, despite the high costs, Apple will one day expand the full-fledged iTunes Store to us as well, and we will have the opportunity to download songs, movies and series in the Czech Republic.

Somehow I can't add up. Right off the bat, the average monthly cost is $75, $000*75 = $000. Even if it were a daily cost, it is only about 12 million USD.
It's probably obvious that they taught us different math :-)
Surely a billion guys? 75000 x 12 = 900.
The course is 20 CZK and not 12...!
What about the course?
But by 12 he meant the months of the year
That's right 12 months, I thought it was obvious, but in the future I will be more consistent and write it down ;-) otherwise, thank you.
Yeah, sorry :-D
These are millions of dollars not thousands. Thanks for the warning. Everything was fixed.
I can't see anywhere how much he earned from traffic.
It won't be prodelcny :D
