Apple has a knack for releasing staggering numbers to demonstrate the brute force they bring to the new mobile and tablet world. The App Store has now had over 40 billion downloads since its launch, two billion of those were in December 2012 alone.
With iPads, iPods and iPhones selling in huge numbers, it’s no surprise that the growth in download numbers is growing exponentially. In the 2012 calendar year almost half of the overall number of App Store downloads occurred, just shy of 20 billion.
