App Store: Ecosystem reaches $1.4 trillion
Apple reports over $1.4 trillion in revenue from its App Store ecosystem in 2025. Over 90 percent of that went to developers without commission.
Tag: Overview
Overview is the rolling annual archive on apfelpatient.de for official Apple announcements, events and product launches. Under this tag, every piece from the current calendar year comes together that captures Apple itself communicating news – from product launches through software unveilings, corporate communications, leadership decisions and quarterly results to sustainability and manufacturing initiatives. At the beginning of every new year, the collection is editorially reset and refilled, so this tag continuously reflects the state of the current Apple year.
The tag thus offers a compact overview of everything Apple officially puts on the table: keynotes and Apple Events, press releases from Cupertino, new hardware and software, strategic decisions around business segments and supply chains, Earth Day and accessibility initiatives, communications from investor relations, and high-level editorial pieces that place these announcements within the larger corporate context.
Anyone wanting to follow the current Apple year in a single, continuously curated overview is right at the central hub here.
