Apple App Store downloads
The countdown on Apple’s website
stopped late Wednesday indicating that the company’s App Store has surpassed 50 billion
downloads. The milestone comes just 14 months after Appleannounced 25
billion apps had been downloaded from its popular marketplace. Apple
launched the App Store in July 2008 and downloads have increased
steadily over the past five years. The company’s first milestone came in
January 2011 when the store surpassed 10 billion downloads, followed by 25
billion last March. Apple will reward the individual who downloaded the 50
billionth application with a $10,000 App Store gift card and 50
runners-up will each receive a $500 card.
