Apple says the last two weeks held record-breaking traffic and buys on its App Store. The company claims that New Year’s Day was its biggest ever. The first day of the year 2016 had people spend more than $144 million on App Store-related purchases.
“The App Store had a holiday season for the record books,” said Philip Schiller, Senior VP of worldwide marketing. We are excited that so many customers downloaded and enjoyed so many incredible apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV, spending over $20 billion on the App Store last year alone.”
