Apple App Store Nears 50 Billion App Downloads
And to celebrate, they’ll be giving the winner (who has the 50 billionth download) a $10,000 Apple Store Gift Card. Additional runner-ups that are between 50billion and 50 billion and 50 will also receive a $500 App Store Gift card.
Regardless of what you may think about Apple, it’s more than apparent that they’re pretty generous when it comes to hitting public milestones. Naturally, from a marketing perspective it’s only to their benefit to turn this type of company milestone into an event to get customers excited about “what’s still to come”.
