Written by Chris Crum
  • Steve Jobs of course unveiled the new iPhone today, and some new iPhone apps were revealed as well. However, between these unveilings, a lot of interesting statistics were rattled off, so here is a round of up of those (via this liveblogged account of the keynote).

    – 8,500 native iPad apps in the app store.

    – 5 million books, at an average of 2.5 books per iPad in first 65 days

    – 22% – iBook’s market share for 5/6 major publishers

    – App store supports over over 225,000 apps

    – 15,000 apps submitted each week (in 30 languages)

    – 95% of apps approved within 7 days

    – passed 5 Billion downloads in the app store last week

    – 70% of revenue goes to developers – passed 1 billion dollars

    – Going to hit 100 millionth iOS device this month (iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads)

    – Apple has over 150 million credit cards (across App Stores, iTunes, iBooks)

    – 16 billion downloads (also across these stores)

    In addition to these numbers, Steve Jobs shared some smartphone market numbers from Nielsen, which had the U.S. market share pegged as: RIM (35%), iPhone (28%), Windows (19%), Android (9%), other (9%). Numbers around this subject have been controversial for a while, and these will no doubt spark further discussion. Jobs noted that according to these, the iPhone’s share is 3 times more than Android.

    Which OS will marketers have to be more concerned about moving ahead: iOS or Android? We discussed this here.
