Is mobile a fad? 19. Apps dont generate profit for publishers.Apple CEO Steve Jobs has said, the App Store has generated morethan $1 billion in revenue for developers. That sounds like a bignumber. But One billion dollars in revenue for the approximately225,000 apps is $4,444 per app--significantly less than an app coststo develop. A typical iPhone app costs $35,000 to develop. Themedian paid app earns $682 per year after Apple takes its cut. Withthese calculations for the typical paid app, it takes 51 years to breakeven. Its not any better for free apps. A free app also costs about$35,000 to develop. But there are so many free iPhone apps that ata rate of 2 second per app, it would take approximately 34 hours forsomeone to check out each one. Thats not great odds for a revenuemodel based on advertising. http://www.fastcompany.com/1684020/the-great-app-bubble 20. muchApps dont generate profit for publishers. ^ As of October 2011: More than 15 billion iOS app downloads iTunes store hosts 420,000 apps More than $2.5 billion paid to app developers to date = ~ $6,000/app, including free & in-app purchases- TechCrunch 21.
