Did you watch WWDC?
This is a single insight from This Week in Apps #65 - It's Game Time + Reddit and Apple. Check out the full article for more insights.
Apple's developer conference is ending today, and what a week that was. I personally prefer the in-person setup a lot more because the talks were more in-depth but confined to our favorite streaming devices, it was another WWDC-by-app.
Apple Developer, the app developers use to view WWDC sessions, is available for download in the App Store, which means it's covered by our App intelligence.
I took a look to see where new downloads for the app came from this week, and here are the top 10 countries:
Our estimates show the U.S. was responsible for about 47% of the more than 311K new downloads the app saw between Saturday and Wednesday. Right behind it, also with a double-digit share, is China with 15%. The UK, South Korea, and India rounded up the top 5 countries.
So what? WWDC, historically, was a very exclusive event up until a few years ago. Tickets were very expensive and very limited, and videos of the talks were not live-streamed, so excited developers who didn't get a ticket had to keep all that excitement bottled up for weeks. That's now gone, and these new downloads show us just how excited they are.
