In 2016 alone, developers earned over $20 billion, up 40 percent from 2015. Since the App Store launched in 2008, developers have earned over $60 billion, creating amazing app experiences for App Store customers across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Mac. Those efforts helped kick off 2017 with a remarkable start, making New Year\u2019s Day the highest single day ever for the App Store, with nearly $240 million in purchases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201c2016 was a record-shattering year for the App Store, generating $20 billion for developers, and 2017 is off to a great start with Jan. 1 as the single biggest day ever on the App Store,\u201d said Philip Schiller, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. \u201cWe want to thank our entire developer community for the many innovative apps they have created \u2014 which together with our products \u2014 help to truly enrich people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Customers broke all-time records this holiday season with purchases from the App Store topping $3 billion in December. In the same month, Nintendo\u2019s Super Mario Run made history with more than 40 million downloads in just four days after its release, and was the most downloaded app globally on Christmas Day and New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Super Mario Run is also among last year\u2019s top 10 most downloaded apps worldwide, with Pok\u00e9mon Go taking the top spot. Pok\u00e9mon Go, a beloved game from Niantic, quickly became a cultural phenomenon in mid-2016. Prisma, Reigns, Procreate, Lumino City, Sweat With Kayla and djay Pro, from some of Apple\u2019s independent developers, were among the most successful apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch and Mac, respectively. The App Store offers 2.2 million apps in total, up over 20 percent from last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With the App Store available in 155 countries, Apple\u2019s customers have access to millions of apps that not only make their lives easier, but enrich their passions and allows them to connect with people from all around the world. The App Store\u2019s top-grossing markets include the US, China, Japan and the UK, with China experiencing record year-over-year growth at an incredible 90 percent rate. The global impact of the App Store was captured this past year with two campaigns \u2014 Apps for Earth, and Games for (RED). In partnership with the World Wildlife Fund and (RED), customers were empowered to make a difference, helping to protect life on our planet and join the fight against AIDS. The custom content created by each campaign\u2019s participating developers helped raise over $17 million in total for the two organizations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With the introduction of iMessage apps and SiriKit in iOS 10, developers created exciting new types of app experiences. iPhone and iPad customers now have access to over 21,000 iMessage apps to send stickers and easily collaborate with friends, and for the first time ever, users can ask Siri to book rides, make payments, return a call and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since subscriptions became available across all 25 app categories this fall, including Games and Kids, customers can subscribe to their favorite services from over 20,000 apps, with Netflix, HBO Now, Line, Tinder and MLB.com At Bat, are among last year\u2019s most popular. iPhone and iPad customers grew the App Store\u2019s subscription billings significantly in 2016, to $2.7 billion, up 74 percent from 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Apple revolutionized personal technology with the introduction of the Macintosh, in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in innovation with the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, as well as the Apple TV. Apple\u2019s four software platforms \u2014 iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS \u2014 provide seamless experiences across all Apple devices and empower people with breakthrough services (including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay and iCloud). Apple\u2019s more than 100,000 employees are dedicated to making the best products on Earth and to leaving the world better than we found it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Photo: iGotOffer.com\/blog<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>App Store Shatters Records on New Year\u2019s Day $240 Million in Customer Purchases Makes January 1, 2017 the App Store\u2019s Busiest Day Ever App Developers Earned $20 Billion in 2016 \u2014 Up 40% from 2015 January 5, 2017 \u2014 Apple today announced that the App Store welcomed 2017 with its busiest single day ever on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4986,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[443],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>App Store Shatters Records | iGotOffer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"App Store Shatters Records on New Year\u2019s Day $240 Million in Customer Purchases Makes January 1, 2017 the App Store\u2019s Busiest Day Ever, all the details...\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/app-store-shatters-records\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"App Store Shatters Records | iGotOffer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"App Store Shatters Records on New Year\u2019s Day $240 Million in Customer Purchases Makes January 1, 2017 the App Store\u2019s Busiest Day Ever, all the details...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/app-store-shatters-records\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"iGotOffer Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/iGotOffer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/svetlana.ustinova2\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-01-12T13:23:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-01-17T21:55:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/iphone_page_trade.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"292\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"388\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@iGotOffer\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@iGotOffer\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Steve\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/\",\"name\":\"iGotOffer Blog\",\"description\":\"News and reviews about electronics &amp;
