Apple pays developers $1 billion a quarter

Against the background of the first decline in Apple’s quarterly profit in 10 years, the Apple company announced how much app developers earn using its platform. 

Actually, this week’s scandal: for the first time in a decade, Apple’s net profit did not grow, but fell. Yes, the collapse turned out to be significant – by 18% compared to the same quarter of the last fiscal year. And this is with revenue growth of 11%. 

Despite this, iOS app developers have nothing to fear yet. According to Apple, in the last financial year alone, the company paid $4.5 billion to developers. This means that at the moment on iOS, app authors earn about $1 billion in three months. In total, over the years of the App Store’s existence, they were paid $ 9 billion.

Yes, some more interesting statistics. During the last fiscal quarter, 45 billion downloads were made from the App Store (5 billion more than in the last quarter).
