IT’S safe to say that Apple’s iPhone owes much of its success to the App Store and what developers are doing with third-party apps. Imagine an iPhone without Instagram, Candy Crush and even Google Maps.
As it stands right now, there are over 1.3 million apps on the iOS App Store, with those apps downloaded over 7.5 billion times. The most downloaded of all these apps is, of course, Angry Birds with over 2 billion downloads alone. Oh, and Apple reported over $500 million worth of sales in the App Store in the first week of 2015. Not bad.
Australia has been a big contributor, with dozens of Aussie-made apps topping the charts across the world since the App Store’s inception in 2008. One of these is the most downloaded of all time, the game Fruit Ninja. Developed by Halfbrick Studios in Brisbane, by 2014 it had been downloaded over 500 million times.
