Pokemon Go leads the App Store to a record setting July
July was a record breaking month for the App Store
Apple CEO Tim Cook announced yesterday that July was a record breaking month for the App Store. The highest ever total of monthly billings were posted, and a record amount of money was paid out to developers. Cook sent out a tweet on Wednesday stating that iOS developers have now been paid a total of $50 billion since the launch of the App Store back on July 10th, 2008.
On Wednesday, Needham analysts pulled out their abacuses and computed that Pokemon Go could add as much as $3 billion to Apple's revenue in the next year or two. To reach this conclusion, the securities firm used an estimate made public by Sensor Tower last month that Pokemon Go was creating $1.6 million of in-app purchases daily.
