Apple says its iTunes music store is now home to 575 million users. The company is now adding around a half-million new accounts on average per day. That means by the end of 2013 the company would have added another 100 million iTunes accounts.
Analysts say that despite the fact more consumers are using the service, revenue per account have declined over the past few years. What’s good about Apple is that it enjoys high customer satisfaction and loyalty.
At WWDC 2013 today, Apple CEO Tim Cook had said that the iTunes store now has more than 900,000 apps available to customers. Furthermore, the company revealed it has paid out over $10 billion to third-party developers, half of that in the last year alone.
Of the 900,000 apps, 375,000 are optimized for the iPad, it said. Cook said 93 percent of them are downloaded each month.
Apple says it is hopeful to achieve the 1 million apps mark in its store before the end of the year.
