Apple shared that developers generated $1.3 trillion in billings and sales via the App Store in 2024, with 90% of that revenue not subject to Apple commissions. A new Apple-funded study found that digital goods and services accounted for $131 billion, while physical goods and services topped $1 trillion, driven by growth in food delivery and grocery apps. In-app ad revenue reached $150 billion. The study, released ahead of WWDC, aims to highlight the App Store’s broader economic impact amid ongoing legal and regulatory challenges to Apple’s commission and app distribution rules.
