The Apple App Store opened on July 10, 2008, via an update to iTunes. Simultaneously Apple launched the second-generation iPhone 3G, which supported mobile apps. An app refers to a mobile application or a piece of software installed, run on a computer, tablet, smartphone, or other electronics. Most Apps developed are designed to solve a problem, meet specific needs or provide information.

The Apple App Store is the second largest App Store in the world. It offers online users a variety of Apps to browse through, purchase or download for free. In addition, the Apple App Store provides easy access to users of iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Tv, and Mac to discover and download Apps.

Apple locks in its customers into a single platform by providing them with the best experience. However, applications in the App Store are only available for iOS devices - the tech industry refers to Apple's ecosystem of devices and operating systems as a "closed-garden."

In recent years, the App Store has offered more than one million gaming apps. In contrast, as of that period the store had 3.74 million non-gaming apps available. As of June 2017, users downloaded 180 billion apps.

As of 2020, the most popular Apple App Store category was gaming, with over 22 percent of apps being games. The second most popular app category was business, followed by education and lifestyle apps. 

Mobile gaming apps usually generate most of their revenue through advertising and in-app purchases, with only little more than a third of games being paid downloads. Popular gaming apps in the App Store include Clash Royale, Candy Crush Saga, casino games, and Clash of Clans, the currently top-grossing iOS game.

App suppliers generate revenue in various ways, such as charging users for downloading an App, accessing the premium features of a free App, or simply selling Ad space.
