## What Jamie wrote

From a nascent idea on a new mobile platform to an immense application ecosystem. 

> In its latest update on the App Store Apple reported that iOS developers earned $26.5 billion in 2017. A year ago the figure was $20 billion. The growth rate is then about 33%. The cumulative payments to developers can be calculated as $86.5 billion. This amount was generated in a span of less than 10 years, with the first billion paid by June 2010.

Would be curious if this also created jobs and how many.
