App Store sales topped $10 billion across 2013
Given that earnings figure was around the $7 billion mark at the end of 2012, that would suggest Apple Senior VP Eddy Cue isn't exaggerating when he calls 2013 "the best year ever for the App Store." As for what kind of apps are taking the most advantage of that success, it's games, games, and more games.
As we learned last month, Candy Crush Saga was the most downloaded free app of 2013, while Minecraft: Pocket Edition was the year's best-selling paid app. Revealingly, Candy Crush Saga was the sweetest of all for gross revenue, with Minecraft: Pocket Edition down (relatively) in 11th.

KexCups theres no need to spend money on music
because you can get it all for free
I only buy songs if I really like the artist and want to support them. I've got 1285 songs and I've only bought 20.
In all honesty, I only buy songs is if I can't find one for free that has the album and cover art for the songs, get desperate and buy the album. Bugs me if I don't have the cover art for music

WeAreAnonym0us They should make everything free for like 10 min, its not like they have enough money to do that or anything.
Remember that not all apps are made by apple. When you buy an app a sum of money is also given to the developers of that app, which most likely need it for future development
