It feels like we’ve always had apps, doesn’t it? Without our banking, maps Whatsapp, Spotify or Instagram app, we’d be rather lost and our iPhone would feel a barren place. But actually, a mere ten years ago, Apple was only just launching its App Store. And no one predicted just what a giant it would become. Today, the App Store is home to a mind-boggling two million applications, ranging from the mainstream to the hyper-niche. To celebrate its glorious Appiversary (see what we did there?) we put something together to show what sets Apple apart.   ![](https://cdn.indicia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Graph-V2.gif) What makes Apple’s App Store so impressive is not its size – after all, Android users can choose between 3.8 million apps. It’s profitability that makes Apple’s offering the undisputed champ. Could this be a product of the slicker design? Apple’s strong brand equity? Or simply because it was the first? We think it’s a bit of all three. Our Data Reporting and Visualisation Team excel at showing what you need to know at a glance. If you’d like to know more, please drop us a line.
