The app store is one of the central axes of the entire Apple ecosystem. This is where all the apps used on iPhone, iPad and other devices can be found, whether free or paid.
Thus, it is an important point for programmers and a source of income. The latest data presented by Apple reveals that since its creation, the App Store has already generated 260 billion dollars for programmers.
A store with maximum profitability
Introduced to the world in 2008, the App Store has guaranteed users and developers a focal point. This store gives access to apps and is also an important point for making purchases with confidence and security in the process.
With the end of 2021, Apple has now decided to present its data for the year that ended. Of the various areas focused in your publication, an important point is related to the App Store and what the store has already managed to offer to developers.
260 billion dollars were paid
The data is clear and reveals that since its launch in 2008, Apple has already paid developers 260 billion dollars. This is a very high figure and it shows the value of the App Store over the years.
It is also clear that in 2021 alone Apple will have paid 60 billion dollars to everyone who has their apps for sale in this place. This value arises from the data that the company presented no end of 2020 and which pointed to 200 billion dollars.
End of the important year for iPhone apps
Another important piece of information in this publication reveals how the last days of the year were. This is an important time for Apple and in 2021 it represented double-digit growth, without, however, Apple revealing the exact value.
Finally, to show the adhesion of iPhone users to the services, Apple revealed that there are already more than 745 million paid subscriptions, from its services and from third parties. What isn't clear is how many of these are exclusive to your services and how many to third parties.
Programmers Not Satisfied with Apple
This Apple gateway to the world has not been free from problems and contestation from the programmers themselves who want to have a greater share of the profits and proof of this is the lawsuit that Epic Games has in court against the Cupertino giant.
Even so, even with all these situations, the figures presented by Apple for the App Store show that this store is a place with great profitability for programmers. Every year the amounts paid increase and this app store is increasingly attractive.
