At Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, the company announced that the iOS App Store has now reached 1.2 million applications – a staggering number that puts Apple neck-and-neck with competitor Google, which is currently estimated to have roughly 1.2 million. In addition, Apple’s CEO said that through June 2nd, 2014, users had downloaded 75 billion applications, and users visit the App Store 300 million times per week.
For comparison’s sake, at last year’s WWDC in June, Apple announced there were then 900,000 apps available on its platform, which had been downloaded 50 billion times.
