The App Store went live on the 10th of July, 2008.
These are the first 8 apps I installed. It’s noteworthy how many apps from day 1 are still actively maintained today.
What are the first 8 apps you downloaded? In the App Store app, tap your account avatar, then tap “Purchased” to get a list of all apps you’ve downloaded. They’re listed in chronological order, so just scroll to the bottom.
I loved monkey ball. There’s some other old games I would love to play that I doubt survived the migration to 64 bit
I hear ya!
Bounce, Brothers in Arms 1 & 2, Prince of Persia, Asphalt 2, and more that I had on the iPhone 3gs.
When iOS 6/7 came out, Apple required that those games be updated if they were to remain on the App Store. But those games had run their course and weren’t going to generate new revenue for the developer. So it was the end for them 🥺🥺
Shazam and Facebook are the only two from my first 8 that still exist. Wild that Shazam was that early tbh, I thought that was a later development. I did see some AIM clients though! I would not have remembered that AIM overlapped with the iPhone, ha.
I was but a wee lad with an iPod Touch 1G.
Here are mine. An app to browse Wikipedia amongst others 😂
Nothing too interesting for me.
I read somewhere that there were only 500 apps on day 1, so there were many options to pick from!

Some mostly random apps.
