"Apple quickly realized that apps would one day overtake .coms." I'm sorry, what? In what conceivable metric do apps outnumber .coms?!

- sp332 17y agoIt doesn't say outnumber.

- portman 17y agoLet's ignore the _trillions_ of dollars being made by ALL .coms and just focus on one of them: Amazon. 2008 revenues of $20BB. To match that, Apple would need to sell $66BB worth of apps in one year. If the average price on the app store is $.25 (incl free), that would be 264 billion app downloads just to match the 2008 revenues of ONE dot-com. There are no scenarios, no-matter how outlandish, in which the app store can overtake websites in $.
- sahaj 17y agoyou'll probably need google to search thru all your apps that have outnumbered your .coms to find what you need.
