The Apple Store surpasses 1.5 million apps

There's no doubt that the Apple Store continues to grow steadily day after day. And perhaps this is one of the reasons why Apple has chosen to announce today that its app store has reached 1.5 million apps.

This is undoubtedly a surprising figure, but it truly demonstrates the sheer number of apps available on the App Store . And the number of apps is constantly growing, because...

Currently, as Apple indicates, there are a total of 1.5 million apps. Of these, 1.008.031 are apps designed specifically for the iPhone, and 479.857 for the iPad.

It should be noted that approximately 544.716 apps (half of all apps available for the iPhone ) are also compatible with the iPad. This is referred to, and recognized by the company, as universal apps.

Apple has also revealed the number of applications currently available for its OS X operating system . According to the company, they offer 23.412 applications through their Mac App Store.

Despite Apple's announcements about the vast number of apps available in its App Store, the truth is that there is still no concrete data on the actual number of apps available for each device. However, it exceeds 1.5 million apps available to all iOS and OS X users.

However, it should be noted that translating these multimillion-dollar figures into profits, both for the developers and for the company, yields a profit of approximately $30.000 billion in the last 12 months.

Finally, and as has been pointed out, the company will continue to grow within this important sector, since with the launch of the Apple Watch and Apple Pay , they plan to continue offering new opportunities for future and permanent developers.
