Today the iTunes app store turns six years old. Since this launch in 2008, a lot has changed for the app store and Apple in general. Today, the app store offers over 1.2 million apps that have been downloaded 75 billions times. To break it down, consumers are downloading roughly 800 apps per second. When it first started, there were only 500 available, which doubled in three days after opening. Since then the available apps have been steadily climbing. Similarly since 2008, Apple has released eight different iPhones from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 5s. They have also produced five generations of the iPod Touch, four generations of the iPod Nano, two iPod Shuffles, and a new iPod Classic. On top of all of that, they released seven variations of the iPad. With this many device changes, the app store has been evolving as well. Not only does it have apps for the iPhone and iPod, but also a growing number of apps made specifically for the iPad – a rather new product. In a short six years, the app store has grown immensely. We can’t wait to see what Apple has in store for us in another six years! Happy Birthday, iTunes App Store.
