The trial between Epic Games and Apple over App Store fees ended with a ruling that Apple’s market control behavior was anti-competitive.
In this ruling, information about Apple’s App Store revenue is published. According to it, game apps account for about 70% of the total revenue of the App Store.
Less than 10% of users generate about 70% of revenue
According to the ruling, game apps generate about 70% of the total App Store revenue.
In addition, the court states that this 70% is paid by less than 10% of all App Store users.
According to research firm Sensor Tower, game apps were downloaded approximately 4.4 billion times in the App Store in the first half of 2021, compared to 16.4 billion non-game apps.
Game apps, which are inferior in downloads, are making a lot of money, and you can see how game apps are an important source of revenue for Apple.
80% of all apps are free apps
We also found that 80% of the apps in the App Store are free apps.
According to CNBC’s analysis, the App Store’s total sales last year were about $ 64 billion, and it seems that a small number of apps are making big profits.
