That's three times more than Android and other mobile stores have distributed to app makers, Cook said during his keynote speech at Apple's annual developers conference. And $5 billion of the total was just from this year, he said.
"The momentum is incredible," Cook said.
Apple currently is hosting its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Among the expected announcements is an update to its mobile operating system and a new radio service.
Apple Stores receive more than 1 million customers per day, CEO Tim Cook revealed at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco on Monday.
The company now hosts 407 stores around the world across 14 different countries. Apple recently opened a store in Berlin, which is located in a 100-year-old building.
AT&T has unveiled an iOS app that turns the iPhone into a walkie-talkie for the business world.
Known as Enhanced Push-to-Talk (Enhanced PTT), the new app brings two-radio features to the iPhone 5 and 4S. With PTT, mobile users can talk to one person via a private call or a large number of people though a group call. And like a walkie-talkie, a phone equipped with the app can switch between talk and listen mode with the touch of a button.
The app supports up to 250 people, gearing it for certain types of workplaces and first responders, … Read more

The marketplace typically comes back online just minutes after Apple's executives are done speaking.

Soon enough, iOS 7 users will be greeted with dramatic new changes to the familiar interface, at least according to the latest details offered up by 9to5Mac.
Based on a peek at an early beta of iOS 7, 9to5Mac said it discovered the much-rumored new "flat" design adopted by Apple. A couple of mockups created by the blog site show that Apple has taken the edge off the icons that populate the home screen. Some of the icons also sport a new logo and color.

If you were holding your breath for a redesigned iPhone this year, it appears you are going to have to wait a bit longer.
The next iteration of Apple's smartphone, which is expected to launch in the fall, won't be dramatically different than the current model, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal on Sunday. The report did not indicate what the new model might be called or what would be different about it.

Google makes a great tablet. But Apple does too. Neither are great writing platforms, though.
After picking up the Nexus 10 a while back, I've been finding it hard to put down. It's lighter and thinner than the 9.7-inch iPad 4 (and it certainly feels that way), it's fast (packing Samsung's latest dual-core A15 with quad-core graphics), has more system memory (2GB), has a gorgeous screen (boasting even higher resolution than Apple's Retina), and comes with the latest version of Android (4.2) -- also very likable.
Like I said, it's very hard … Read more
