Apple released a voluminous press release in which it shared its achievements in the development of proprietary services. The company talked about what changes its software products have undergone over the past year, what success they have achieved and how they made the life of each user easier and more convenient. Of course, there were financial indicators that demonstrate how rapidly the company’s business is growing.
Apple has paid particular attention to the success of the App Store. The company said that since launching the app store in 2008, developers who host their apps on it have earned more than $ 260 billion. True, from this amount you need to subtract the commission that Apple charges for all purchases in the app store, but this does not make the figure less impressive. It is important to note that over the past year, the creators of software published in the App Store have earned about $ 60 billion. As of the end of 2019, Apple said it had paid developers a total of $ 155 billion over the lifetime of the app store.
