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.
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.
