The Google Play store has a total of 675,000 apps and games while Apple's app store now boasts 650,000 apps, according to announcement made by the company's CEO Tim Cook at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference that took place in June.
Apple recently launched the iPhone 5, which sold 5 million units during its opening weekend. This only means that Apple app store downloads will increase greatly within the next few months. Samsung and other prominent smartphone manufacturers will be releasing some new Android devices including the Galaxy Note 2 which is sure to sell in the millions as well. That should bring another friendly boost to Google Play since the store sells apps made exclusively for the smartphone tablet hybrid.
