The Apple App Store is celebrating its tenth anniversary. What started as a mistake, it is now a big deal.
Apps on a phone, it can never be any matter. That was the strong belief of Steve Jobs the great man behind Apple. The company has only put its own programs on the first iPhones. Other companies had to put their services online, so that iPhone users could go there with the Safari browser. It was not a success and Jobs had to admit unevenly.
With the second iPhone, a year later, others were allowed to make apps. They came to be in a separate store, the App Store. Ten years ago, on July 10, 2008 it opened its doors.
At its launch, the App Store had about five hundred applications. These included Google's search engine, the New York Times newspaper, and the eBay auction site. In the meantime, about two million applications are available
What began as admitting an error has become a billion dollar industry. Only last year, users spent $ 42.5 billion in the App Store, App Annie application analyst recently explained. It is converted 36 billion euros . Apple shares the income with the people who created the apps. According to Apple, they have totaled more than 100 billion dollars in 10 years. We do not know how much Apple itself has stayed.
The most downloaded application is that of Facebook . It has been installed more than 700 million times. Then follow Facebook Messenger, YouTube and Facebook Instagram girls and WhatsApp. Google Maps, Snapchat, Skype and Chinese apps WeChat and QQ have also been heavily downloaded. These are mostly free apps. Streaming Services Netflix and Spotify achieved the highest revenues from the App Store.
