If the App Store is an independent company, it must also be the Fortune 500! Does this explain iPhone sales growth remains healthy?
About a week ago, according to Apple's official report, 2015 alone for a whole year, App Store spending more than $ 20 billion, if the Apple share count, every dollar Apple extract 0.3 dollars into his account, then Apple App Store revenue of more than US $ 6.6 billion last year. Already there are many striking examples to prove that the numbers are exaggerated, such as the Netflix company is also selling content, a year is almost the number ($ 6.8 billion).
Certainly it was pointed out that the $ 6.6 billion to Apple for the company as a whole is not what Apple FY 2015 annual gross income of up to $ 234 billion. However, App Store sales growth indirectly reflects the strength of Apple crazy hardware, indicating whether smart phone, tablet or computer product sales are very good, after all, has always been Apple hardware products the best indicators of real income.
Crazy App Store growth
Apple App Store revealed a little of actual income figures for the entire year is how much, just sales, time released almost every January 1.
