App Store Download Rate – 2.2 Million Downloads A Day!

posted in news, by Codrut Nistor


"An App Store download a day keeps Microsoft Windows away," don't you think? I am sure that over 2 million apples are being eaten every day(poor fruits...), but if we look at the App Store download rate, two million seems much bigger than in the previous case. After all, Macintosh apps don't grow on trees...

...but seem to become more and more popular, since statistics are looking just great! In a new print ad from Apple, it is said that the Cupertino-based company delivered no less than 300 million downloads through the iTunes App Store, also pointing out that over 10,000 different apps are currently available, 20 times more than the 500 that were ready to be downloaded at the App Store's debut.


When looking at the numbers above, it's also worth considering that, back in October, Apple announced that the App Store was nearing the 200 million downloads mark, so over 100 million downloads were made since then, accounting for about 2.2 million apps downloaded daily!

At last, you should also know that - according to comScore, Apple.com ranked 5th amongst the most visited retail sites on Cyber Monday(the Monday immediately following Black Friday), with 3.68 million hits, after eBay (12.9 million), followed by big-box retailers Amazon.com (9.2 million), Wal-Mart (6.76 million), and Target (4.8 million).
