‘Introduced exciting experiences’, Apple hails 2019 as its historic year

Apple on Wednesday marked the close of 2019 as its historic year when the company introduced subscription-based gaming services like Arcade, TV+, News+ along with Apple Card for its users.

“2019 was the biggest year for services in Apple’s history. We introduced several exciting new experiences for our customers, all the while setting the standard for user privacy and security,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services said in a statement.

Apple’s ongoing focus on the deep integration of hardware, software and services drove all of its platforms to new heights in 2019.

According to the company, Apple App Store customers spent a record $1.42 billion between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, a 16 per cent increase over last year.
