News / All news / All about apps in future

There are some key points in infographic style regarding mobile technology, which is expected to be a cornerstone of this year’s confab of innovators, artists and entrepreneurs:

• In 2007, the app industry didn’t exist. It took nine months to reach 1 billion apps downloaded.

By 2013 end, two billion apps will be downloaded—every week.

• While most apps are free or very low-cost to consumers, they are making real economic contributions. The apps economy has created at least 500,000 U.S. jobs and will grow from a $25 billion marketplace this year to $46 billion in 2016.

The average mobile American has more than 100 apps on their smartphone — and spends, on average, 127 minutes a day using them.

1.3 million apps are submitted to Apple’s app store alone each year.
