Infographic: Apple’s App Store reaches 500,000 Apps

Published by Minnaar Pieters on May 24th, 2011, 1 Comment

According to 148Apps.com, Apple has “unofficially” reached 500 000 apps in it’s App Store. The catalogue of apps have grown at a tremendous rate – in Jan this year it was still on 350,000, so clearly Apple has had its hands full approving all these apps. Here are a few key numbers you can take away from this:

From that nearly 3 years of data we know that you’d need a 7.5 terabyte iPhone to hold all of the apps available at once on your device. I guess we have a new high end target for the storage limit of the iPhone 5. Oh, and it would cost you $891,982.24 to buy all of the apps.

37% of all live applications are free while 15% are games. It’s interesting that in recent months Books has been the largest category. But just this last month we saw Games overtake Books once again.

But enough with the jibber jabber – here is the infographic:

With games making up such a huge percentage of the sales, I still wonder why the iTunes store doesn’t focus on and feature them more when you open it up, they are still more interested in selling you some really lame new hip-hop album from the flavour of the week.
