GigaOM Infographic


A beautiful infographic prepared by GigaOM outlines the size of the iPhone App economy. Go check it out. We'll wait.


iPhone Apps

$250 million revenue in December 2009
$175 million (70%) goes to developers
$75 million (30%) goes to Apple


iPhone Sales

Apple sold 8.7 million iPhones in Q4 2009 (not counting Touch)
Guessing $150 / phone, that's $1.3 billion, plus carrier subsidies


iPhone Contracts

Users spend an average of $4.37 per month on apps
Users spend (my guess) $80 per month on connectivity
