Microsoft WP Platform applications download up to 3 billion still less than iOS platform

1 November 21 Microsoft announces that the Windows phone platform downloads up to 3 billion applications. Although this number sounds good, it is well below the Apple iOS platform for more than 60 billion times. 10 million intra-application transactions occur daily on the Windows Phone platform, 300 million times a month; in June and September, the number of applications traded daily on the Windows Phone platform was 6.66 million and 9 million respectively. According to Microsoft, developers upload 500 windows Phone apps every day. Windows Phone 8 release is still a "critical moment" for Windows Phone platform, and the Windows Phone platform's "Monthly paid application revenue" has grown by 181% since the release of Windows Phone 8. Application downloads have increased by 290% in the past year. The Windows phone platform is still small, but it is growing quite quickly. The data shows that the Windows Phone platform is very active and developers can get enough attention. However, the relatively small number of Windows phone users in the United States, to some extent, affect the enthusiasm of developers. The United States is a major market for iOS and Android application developers. Sales of Windows phone phones are also growing fast, typically reaching a 3-digit growth rate. But since the base is small, this does not mean that Windows Phone sales will overtake iOS or Android in the short term. Microsoft has much work to do in the smartphone market: increasing handset sales in the U.S. market and stimulating developers ' interest in the Windows Phone platform. Bamboo)
