Geek Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/500k-app-store-apps.jpg" alt="iOS App Store with 500000 Apps" title="500k-app-store-apps" width="598" height="467" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16410" /></p> <p>The iOS App Store is not even three years old yet but Apple has already approved 500,000 apps in the USA’s App Store alone. That’s a whole lot of iOS apps for your <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/iphone/">iPhone</a> and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/ipad/">iPad</a>. This is according to <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/app-store-milestone-500000-applications-approved/">148apps</a>, who created a giant infographic to show off the accomplishment. </p> <p>Some interesting stats about the App Store from the infographic include:</p> <ul> <li>Average number of apps per developer: 4.6</li> <li>Average price for paid apps: $3.64</li> <li>Total number of free apps: 147,966</li> <li>Total number of paid apps: 244,720</li> <li>Projected total number of app sales for 2011: 15,000,000,000 (that’s 15 billion)</li> </ul> <p>This next part isn’t included in the infographic, but I think it’s worth mentioning here for comparative purposes. These are the major mobile app stores and their respective app counts, as you can see Apple dominates here too:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Apple iOS App Store</strong>: 500,000</li> <li><strong>Google Android App Store</strong>: 200,000 </li> <li><strong>Nokia Ovi App Store</strong>: 54,000</li> <li><strong>RIM Blackberry App Store</strong>: 30,000</li> <li><strong>Microsoft Windows Phone Mobile Market</strong>: 18,000</li> <li><strong>Palm & HP App Store</strong>: 6,405</li> </ol> <p>Impressive numbers, aren’t they?</p> <p>You can get more details of the iOS App Store milestone achievement in the massive 600×4350 infographic, embedded below:</p> <p><span id="more-16409"></span> <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/500k-ios-apps-infographic.jpg" alt="Infographic: Half a Million Apps in iOS App Store " title="500k-ios-apps-infographic" width="600" height="4350" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16411" /></p> <p>Infographic via <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/app-store-milestone-500000-applications-approved/#ixzz1NHtijWT8">148apps</a>, and individual app store counts via <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/android-momentum-mobile-and-more-at.html">GoogleBlog</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_digital_distribution_platforms_for_mobile_devices">Wikipedia</a>. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tVN5vaMKtGh89LRuZlcYKgdUDRw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tVN5vaMKtGh89LRuZlcYKgdUDRw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tVN5vaMKtGh89LRuZlcYKgdUDRw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tVN5vaMKtGh89LRuZlcYKgdUDRw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tlVkPatpx2E:X1SVA9sirHc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tlVkPatpx2E:X1SVA9sirHc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=tlVkPatpx2E:X1SVA9sirHc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tlVkPatpx2E:X1SVA9sirHc:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=tlVkPatpx2E:X1SVA9sirHc:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tlVkPatpx2E:X1SVA9sirHc:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tlVkPatpx2E:X1SVA9sirHc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/tlVkPatpx2E" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
