Marking the fifth anniversary
of the iPhone App Store, Apple has sent a poster to members of the press
marking the many milestones the digital download destination has seen over its
first half-decade. A picture of the poster was posted online on Wednesday by
Tim Bradshaw, a reporter with the Financial Times.
In 2008, the iPhone App Store
debuted with over 500 apps. The arrival of the App Store coincided with the
release of the second-generation iPhone, or the iPhone 3G. The App Store now
boasts over 850,000 apps as it nears its fifth anniversary on July 10. To
celebrate the event, Apple sent out several promotional posters, which detail
the rise of the App Store along with some of the most popular choices
available, including Angry Birds, Temple Run, Netflix and Paper.
