Against the background of the first decline in Apple’s quarterly profit in 10 years, the Apple company announced how much app developers earn using its platform.
Actually, this week’s scandal: for the first time in a decade, Apple’s net profit did not grow, but fell. Yes, the collapse turned out to be significant – by 18% compared to the same quarter of the last fiscal year. And this is with revenue growth of 11%.
Despite this, iOS app developers have nothing to fear yet. According to Apple, in the last financial year alone, the company paid $4.5 billion to developers. This means that at the moment on iOS, app authors earn about $1 billion in three months. In total, over the years of the App Store’s existence, they were paid $ 9 billion.
Yes, some more interesting statistics. During the last fiscal quarter, 45 billion downloads were made from the App Store (5 billion more than in the last quarter).
