Is the App Store really this fucked?

One of our apps, Contact Clean Pro, jumped up to nearly the top 50 in Productivity.

The day it jumped up wasn't a particularly good day for it, selling 4 copies.  The recent best was a couple weeks ago when it sold 13(!), about the time it was at very bottom of the top 200 graph above.

So for iPhone Productivity apps, any app that is out of the top 200 is selling single digit copies a day at best.  So of the thousands and thousands of productivity apps, most are making virtually nothing.  With a very large percent making absolutely nothing.

But the lucky 10 or so at the top are likely selling hundreds or thousands of copies a day.

Apple Watch vs Battery

I wanted to get an idea for the size of the Apple Watches, so looked for similar every day objects.

AAA batteries are a pretty good match!

• All models of the watch are exactly the same thickness as a triple-a battery.  
• Three AAA batteries together are a little longer and a little thinner than the bigger 42mm Apple Watch.
• Those same three batteries are about the same weight as the watch part of the Sport model, 33 vs 30 grams (for all, bands add more.)  
• The steel model weighs in the middle between 4 and 5 AAA batteries.
• The gold model weighs the same as 6 AAA batteries.
