10 years of App Store, Apple is back on the most important moments!

In the space of 10 years, the App Store has clearly evolved, yet it was not won in advance. On July 12, the App Store will indeed blow its tenth candle. On this occasion, the Cupertino company published an article retracing the course of the store by highlighting the points that made it successful.

Apple recalls that: "When Apple launched the App Store on 10 July 2008 with 500 applications, it triggered a cultural, social and economic phenomenon that changed the way people work, play, meet, travel and more. Over the last decade, the App Store has created a secure place for users of all ages to get the best apps and a dynamic app economy for developers of all sizes, from anywhere in the world, to prosper. Today, customers in 155 countries visit the App Store more often, stay longer, and download and use more apps than ever before.

Although there have been many remarkable moments since apps appeared on the iPhone and later on iPad, the milestones and testimonials here reflect some of the most significant of the last 10 years: the App Store has democratized the distribution of software and transformed our daily lives.

For his part, Phil Schiller, senior vice president, Worldwide Marketing at Apple, talks about the App Store as follows: "In its first decade, the App Store exceeded all our expectations the craziest – innovative applications that developers have imagined, the way customers have integrated applications into their daily lives – and this is just the beginning. We could not be more proud of what the developers have created and what the next 10 years will bring.

In his post, Apple looks back on the 11 points that marked the history of the App Store and its future with augmented reality:

Today, the App Store has more than 2 million applications of all kinds. And it's true that Apple has helped create hundreds of thousands of jobs around the world through its app store.
