iPhone Apps

The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS App Store is a service for the iPhone and iPod Touch created by Apple Inc. which allows users to browse and download over 50,000 applications from the iTunes Store that were developed with the iPhone SDK and published through Apple.

The iPhone Apps are available to purchase or free of charge, depending on the application. The iPhone Apps are downloaded directly to iPhone or iPod Touch. The Applications Store is also available within iTunes.

After the success of Apple's App Store, and the launch of similar services by its competitors, some have started using 'app store' as a generic term referring to any similar service for mobile devices.

The App Store is accessible from the iPhone and iPod Touch via an application by the same name.

Over 1 billion iPhone Apps have been downloaded so far.

The iPhone Apps Store lists the top 25 and top 50 downloads at any given time - both free and not free.
