Since Apple launched the App Store in 2008, more than one million apps have been submitted to the iOS marketplace.
That's according to app discovery and promotion platform Appsfire, which claims that the milestone figure was reached earlier today.
The numbers game
The company's figures suggest that games account for a sizeable portion of App Store submissions 158,848 out of one million, to be exact.
Appsfire also notes that paid apps are in the minority, although not by a particularly large margin. Of the one million App Store submissions logged, 493,289 are paid.
In all, the marketplace has played host to more than 35 billion app downloads.
In spite of this latest stats fest, however, it's worth noting that the App Store is not actually home to one million apps.
At last count, Apple's marketplace carried a total somewhere in excess of 700,000 applications, with a large portion removed from the App Store for a multitude of reasons - either by the developer itself, or Apple - post release.
