As we arrive on four years of the iOS App Store being made available, Apps Fire (via The Next Web) points out this morning the thriving app marketplace will reach 1 million total apps approved for iOS. Apps Fire tweeted that the milestone will be reached later today, however, The Next Web says it can confirm that Apple has reached one million total apps, already.

According to AppShopper, another app discovery service that tracks the App Store, the current number of approved apps by Apple sits at 995,382. As for the number of apps actually available for download on the iOS App Store, there are 714,883. At any rate, it’s clear that Apple has/will reach the milestone, even if publicly announced or not.
During the iPhone 5 launch event in late-September, Apple announced that its average customer now users over 100 apps on their devices. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said,“It’s been an absolute revolution. It’s phenomenal. Together with the incredible products, these have helped us achieve an incredible milestone.”
