We all know the app store of our iPhone, and we know that there are games, applications, and everything we can imagine, however, there are many more than we think. Would you like to know the total of them? Do you think Apple has more, or, on the contrary, does the Android Play Store win?
Today, becoming an Apple developer and being able to upload applications to the store costs $99, while at Google we can do it for only $25, something that will make a difference when it comes to the number of them, since Many people decide to try the Play Store first, because it is cheaper.
How many apps are there in the App Store?
Although thousands of applications are uploaded to all stores every day, and the figure could be higher, the latest data indicates that the App Store would have 1.8 million apps and games uploaded, an outrage if we think that 90% of us share the same 10 popular applications and games, so we would have many things to try.
It is also estimated that 0.1% of them have been updated with viruses, which would mean 1,800 infected apps. These are usually removed once the malware is detected, however, it would usually be around that figure, so, even though we look for applications that we have never tried and are rare, we must also be careful with them.
Does it have more than the Play Store?
We all know that the Android system is more flexible than iOS, and allows other types of applications, so their number would rise to 2.7 milliona much higher percentage of them than Apple’s, however, also at the virus level, and in the Play Store we can find up to 5 times more malware than on the iPhone, so we would also have to be very careful about that side.
Another reason, as we already explained, is the price of the publication. To be an Apple developer you will not only have to pay $99, but this will be the annual fee, so in the long run, a single app would cost you a lot to maintain. However, in the Play Store, creating an account will cost us $25, and it is for life. That is, anyone who wants to test whether their game is downloaded and liked, will do so first on Google, and if successful, they can upload it to the App Store, since it may possibly be profitable. Something that also tells us that, despite having fewer options, the iPhone ones are of higher quality.
And you, did you think there were so many options available? Although at first glance it is a number, if you think about it, 2 million applications and games for iPhone are an outrage. Even if we wanted to simply install them all, it would take years no matter how good the connection we had. Leave us a comment with the apps or games you use the most, to see if together we discover any of those millions of interesting ones, since I wouldn’t even know where to start.
