Apps, games, music: Why 2022 was a good year for Apple’s services

Apple’s Services business has come a long way and is a significant contributor to the company’s coffers. Apple Services — which includes App Store, Apple Music, Apple Arcade and more — recorded impressive numbers. In a newsroom post, Eddy Cue, senior vice president, Services, Apple also shared some insights.
Cue said that “At Apple, we have the privilege of partnering with creators of all kinds, while building products and services that enable even more creativity.” These creators have made apps, music, movies and much more that are used by Apple users. Cue said that 2022 was a “groundbreaking year for entertainment.”
More visitors to App Store than ever
Apple said that in 2022 more people than ever visited the App Store “to discover and download the world’s most creative and cutting-edge apps and games in a safe and trusted environment.” There were more than 650 million visitors across 175 regions each week on the App Store.
New titles on Apple Arcade
Apple’s subscription-based game service seems to be going strong. In 2022, the Apple Arcade catalogue expanded with more than 50 exciting new titles, including Warped Kart Racers, Jetpack Joyride 2, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, Wylde Flowers, and Cooking Mama: Cuisine! The service also released over 300 updates and expansions for many existing hits, including Sneaky Sasquatch, The Oregon Trail, Mini Motorways, LEGO Brawls, and Angry Birds Reloaded, said Apple.
Shazam’s big moment of 2022
Apple said that 2022 marked its 20th anniversary with 70 billion all-time Shazams. Last year, Shazam launched 17 new national charts and 58 new city charts, expanding coverage of the world’s most discovered music to more parts of the world, as users discovered over 40 million different songs and more than 1 million artists received their very first Shazam, said Apple.
