If you thought the world of apps was diminishing, think again – Tim Cook has announced today that July was the biggest single month in the history of the App Store for developer payments.
The two tweets this morning are significant, because they demonstrate the continued interest in apps, and paying for apps, as well as Apple’s commitment to developers.
Developers get about 70% of the money we spend with Apple either on apps or in-apps, and it’s a huge windfall if you get the market right.
