Apple recently announced that its iOS users alone have downloaded more than 140 billion apps since the App Store launched in 2008.
But the app market, as we’ve noted, is still a challenging one.
Half of all U.S. smartphone users download zero apps per month, according to comScore’s latest mobile app report.
This report is from a Third Party (ComScore) not 1st Party (Apple) but it’s an interesting report nonetheless. I download maybe 1 new app every 6 months. The rest of my downloads are just updates to existing applications, 80% of which I don’t use unless I’m traveling.
