Chunli Fu, a resident of Qingdao, China has won a place in the Apple history books as being responsible for providing the Apple App store with its 25 billionth download.
Apple announced that it had hit the milestone late Friday with a graphic on its Website.
The lucky App Store shopper won a $10,000 gift card for downloading Disney’s Where’s My Water game.
Previous milestones saw the information-sharing app Bump push App Store downloads past the 1 billion mark in 2009, while Paper Glider scored the 10 billionth download a little more than a year ago.
Yes, it was only 14 months ago, that iOS device owners had downloaded a measly 10 billion apps. In other words, the App Store saw 10 billion apps downloaded in its first two and a half years, and another 15 billion apps in the last 14 months.
If you don’t have a calculator or iPhone nearby, those numbers indicate that, on average, more than one billion apps are downloaded from the App Store each month. And to think, late Apple CEO Steve Jobs once told developers that building Web apps was "a very sweet solution" for building iPhone software.
