Apple announced that more than 40 billion apps have been downloaded from the app store and nearly half of them in 2012, a great news to give the app store a kick-start this year. According to Apple there are more than 500 million active accounts. Apps from the app store are available in 155 countries across 23 categories. Apple seems to be prevailing on top of it's competitor Android, especially when it is smartphone gaming, developers generally develop games for the iOS first and then later on Android due to the variations in smartphones. “It has been an incredible year for the iOS developer community.Developers have made over seven billion dollars on the App Store, and we continue to invest in providing them with the best ecosystem so they can create the most innovative apps in the world.” said Apple senior vice president of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue. Developers seem to be very much interested in releasing games on smartphone platforms these days. With the success of graphical intense games such as Infinity Blade, Avenger's Initiative and many more the app store is becoming targeted by developers all over the world. Not only games, but many other apps such as Apple's Keynote, FlipBoard and many others are also notably successive. Apple is for sure getting a hold on the Apps market.
