Not only was 2013 a banner year for the App Store, but December 2013 was the most successful month in App Store history. In that month alone, customers spent over $1 billion dollars and downloaded nearly 3 billion apps.

 

“We’d like to thank our customers for making 2013 the best year ever for the App Store,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “The lineup of apps for the holiday season was astonishing and we look forward to seeing what developers create in 2014.”
