PanARMENIAN.Net - Apple's software market has grown significantly since its humble launch back in 2008, GSMArena says.

Initially the App Store debuted along with iOS 2.0.1 and a total of about 500 apps. According to current appshopper.com statistics, the platform now hosts over 1.5 million apps and the number is growing by the minute. The statistics includes currently active projects and with counting the apps withdrawn throughout the years, the number would be 2,312,658, according to GSMArena.

The App Store is not limited to iOS only and also hosts OSX software, as well as custom-tailored apps for the iPad. The former, however represent an insignificant percent of the portfolio - about 23,000 on total. The iPad, on the other hand, has been getting a lot of tailored attention with almost half a million dedicated apps.
