Apple relies heavily on the power of the software store to sell its devices, not forgetting the Apple conference that He announced the new iPad With him, Tim Cook compared applications on the iPad to its counterpart in Android devices, and despite the fact that the store is the source of power for the basic Apple devices and we almost all use it on a daily basis, but there are things that we still do not know about it, such as the Top Grossing classification in the Top 25 applications section where many do not know From users what does it mean? Because we see “Top Free” applications, which are the most free applications downloaded, and “Top Paid” applications, which are the most downloaded paid applications, but when we open the Top Grossing classification, we find that some applications appear for free and some are paid, so what does this rating mean?

Top Grossing Apps means the highest paying apps and any app that comes in two ways:

  1. Revenue from its price.
  2. Income from in-app purchase (to unlock new levels or to earn points, etc.).

For example, from the previous image, we see that the first and second applications are free applications But Either one's revenue from in-app purchases فقط More in Angry Birds in Space revenue than its price (dollars) + Its revenues from purchases from within it (to open a new level), which assures us that the applications are not completely free And aim for profit in one way or another, as we mentioned before If we look at the top 10 applications in the Top Grossing list, you will find that 7 of them are free and of the 25 most applications you find 17 free and 8 paid (this stat is done at the time of writing these lines). It is also possible to see a statistic for the percentage of free applications within the list of the most profitable in the US store for the year 2011
