iPhone/iOS

iTunes store is the central market place for iPhone and iPod devices. Established in 2001 as a digital distribution channel for music for iPod devices, the market eventually expanded into applications in July of 2008. Since then, the iTunes Store has become the premier channel for smartphone applications. The iTunes Store has over 300,000 applications available among all application types, and over 60,000 gaming and entertainment applications.

FADE LLC estimates that the gaming application market for the iOS devices brought in approximately $750 million USD in 2010, with approximately 75% annual growth and maintains a life to date value of approximately $1.4 billion USD in paid gaming app revenue alone.

FADE LLC strives to offer the most comprehensive packages available for market estimates for the iPhone market, and is continuing to grow into new report offerings as new data comes available. As of January 2009, we are offering new packages with more granular data by-country.
