New Year’s Day sales aren’t the only notable figures Apple reported. The company also shared App Store figures for last year, revealing that it made a massive $20 billion during 2016, which is up a huge 40 percent compared to 2015. That’s especially noteworthy considering that since the App Store was launched in 2008, it has made $60 billion — so its figures for last year represent a third of the App Store’s all-time sales.
When it comes to specific apps, Pokémon Go was — not at all surprisingly — the most downloaded app of the year, while Super Mario Run was the most downloaded app on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
When it comes to specific regions, Apple took a moment to brag about its growth in China — where it showed a record 90 percent growth last year compared to the year before.
