Apple on Saturday announced that its iOS App Store for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad has reached the milestone of 10 billion downloads since its launch in 2008.
“Thank you. Ten billion times,” Apple’s official countdown was changed to read. “The 10 Billion App Countdown promotion has ended. Please come back to this page later to see who won.”
The company began a countdown to 10 billion downloads on Jan. 14, when there were about 250 million downloads to go. It ran a promotion in which the 10 billionth downloader will win an iTunes gift card valued at $10,000 U.S.
