Limited Price range for Apps?!

The Apple’s iPhone app store is loaded with thousands of applications produced by different people for different usage situations or just for fun. The diverse of the categories indicates that there is an app for everyone, corresponding even the most unusual needs of Apple users. 

It appeared that despite the legitimate and extremely powerful distribution channel for the content, the customers still seem to be reluctant to pay a lot of money to get desired app. The price limit for the apps usually varies from $1 to $9.99. 10 USD is the maximum price to pay when purchasing apps for the majority of users (68%). This fact is steadied with the rating of the apps, which shows that the most popular and commonly purchased apps are those with the price up to $10.

It turned out that circa 6% of apple users do not by apps at all, as they see no need to waste money in something, that you can from some other source, while the rest 28% is ready to pay more than $10 to get the desired app. There sure are the exceptional apps, that are either distinguished from others with the unique content or intellectual property, or provide beneficial experience or value for customers.

Skype Hits a New Record!

Skype has introduced video calling for iOS devices few days ago. As there were lots of other good alternatives for video calling, the release of Skype was neither a surprise, nor a sensation. No one would ever take care of this fact, if Skype has not announced that it has reached a new milestone in its history- 27 million users online at the same time!!!

The Skype video calls appeared to be as popular among Apple users, as it was for other Skype customers. This fact totally covers the previous record by Skype, that was even less than 26million users online in video chat simultaneously. It is clear, that the introduction of video calling to iOS system devices has significantly lead to increased customer base.
