It really seems that was the original plan.
An email from the Apple vs Epic trial where Steve Jobs gives the go ahead for the app store in October 2007. They had to rush to get the sdk done in three months.

- wayneftw 5y agoNo it doesn't. Not even a little bit. That's a go ahead email. That's not an email showing the conception of the idea. We already had app stores on phones before this. You think they didn't come up with the idea until that email? It's perhaps the most obvious idea in the world. Sorry, y'all are just wrong. This email is evidence that its all been discussed many times before the "go ahead".
- Grustaf 5y agoThe iPod never had an app store, an Apple are known to prefer to be in control of the experience. How can you be so sure they were planning an app store all along?
