Apple shared a few more updated statistics today on the state of the iOS ecosystem at its iPhone launch event in Cupertino:
- 250 million iOS devices have been cumulatively sold.
- There have been 18 billion apps downloaded from the store.
- There are roughly 1 billion apps downloaded per month.
- Apple has paid out $3 billion to developers (which implies that the company has made roughly $1.3 billion throughout the life of the iOS app store from its 30 percent revenue share). That’s also up from the $2.5 billion figure Apple reported four months ago, suggesting that the company is paying out just over $100 million per month to developers.
- There are 140,000 iPad apps and 500,000 apps overall in the iOS ecosystem.
