*Digital goods and services includes: games, video and music streaming, e-books and audiobooks, news and magazines, dating apps, fitness, photo and video editing and enterprise and education
Estimated sales and billings from digital goods and services is not the same as total App Store billings. Analysis Group estimates the volume of sales from digital goods and services purchased elsewhere but used on apps on Apple devices, and, conversely, subtracts billings from in-app purchases made via the App Store but used elsewhere. The estimate is based on a combination of third-party sources and Apple data.
