The iOS software Apple App store celebrated yesterday that have been approved over a million applications from its launch in 2008. However, many of these applications are no longer available, have faded away over time, so that the actual figure is significantly lower.

In fact, late last month the news was that Google Play had reached the App Store in number of applications at a rate of about 700,000 for each store. So, Apple still has time left to celebrate a milestone that Android might snatch it.

It may be the fact that the draconian conditions of the dispensary of the Cupertino software have not kept your offer will suffer the least. Proof of that the one million applications approved to date.

For the curious, the actual figure for Apple App store is around 736,000 active applications.
