With hundreds of thousands of apps to browse through in the App Store, there are only a select few that you can store on your iPad or iPhone at any given time. However, if you had free reign over money and could buy them all, just how much cash would you need?
GigaOm posed the question in a recent report, and did the research to see just how much it would take to buy every app available through the App Store. With more than 760,000 apps available – compared to how it was just 50,000 under six years ago – you would need a staggering $1.13 million to buy them all.
The report also breaks down each category for the apps, with education leading the charge, as $173,446.87 is needed to acquire all those apps. Games take a close second with $107,821.75, while books sits in third with just under $100K. The Games category, with 60,000 apps, has the cheapest apps on average at $1.69, but it also generates more revenue than any other category.
