Apple's App Store reaches 25 Billion downloads
By 
Well that didn’t take long, since the App Store opened in 2008 it has already reached an astounding 25 Billion downloads. The Cupertino company’s “25 Billion App Countdown” promotion launched just over two weeks ago. While it has yet to be announced who downloaded the 25th Billion App, the winner will be awarded a $10,000 gift card valid for App Store, Mac App Store, or any other ITunes Store content.
The App Store took a little under two and half years to reach 10 Billion Downloads, and less than 6 months to reach the next 5 billion downloads.
With today’s milestone, the App Store has seen its last 10 billion downloads come over a period of just eight months, putting Apple’s pace at 15 billion downloads per year and undoubtedly continuing to accelerate. With 15 billion downloaded during a year Apple are set to reach 40 billion in less than a year!
