Apple celebrates record-breaking App Store spending over the holidays
Throughout the whole of 2015, its customers spent over $20 billion on the App Store - but over $1.1 billion of that was spent on apps and in-app purchases in just the two weeks ending January 3, 2016, "setting back-to-back weekly records for traffic and purchases", according to Apple.
January 1 was the biggest day in App Store history, as customers spent over $144 million, breaking the previous single-day record which had been set one week earlier on Christmas Day.
Apple also said that it has now paid out over $40 billion to app developers, "with over one-third generated in the last year alone."
Apple will, of course, be setting aside some of all the extra cash it's been raking in lately to pay the €318 million EUR (roughly $340 million) owed to the Italian government, following an investigation into tax fraud allegations.
