A couple of weeks ago and after what felt like an eternity, Amazon’s Prime Video app was finally launched on the Apple TV. This is a pretty big deal especially when you consider that Amazon’s app was one of the few major video streaming services that wasn’t available on the Apple TV, and turns out it has been a huge hit.

According to a report from BESTAppleTV.com, it seems that Apple has confirmed that the Amazon Prime Video app is the most downloaded app for tvOS of all time. Yup, apparently it’s the most downloaded of all time, not just for the week it launched, or the month, but of all time, suggesting that this is an app that many, many Apple TV owners have been waiting for.

The confirmation reads, “Prime Video has been a hit with Apple TV customers around the world — it had the most first-week downloads of any app in the history of tvOS.” Unfortunately Apple/Amazon did not provide any specific numbers in terms of downloads, so we’re not sure exactly how many times the app has been downloaded, but for it to break the record does say a lot about its popularity.

So far Amazon has released some Prime-exclusive shows on its service in a bid to make it more attractive, like how Netflix has its own exclusive series of shows and movies.

Apple’s iPhones are probably the most expensive smartphones in the market today (not counting the special edition, jewel-encrusted, leather clad options), but it seems that despite the price, the appeal and allure of owning an iPhone is still there, which might explain why the iPhone is apparently selling so well.

According to data from analytics firm Localytics (via Forbes), it seems that Apple is selling over a combined 1 million units of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X on a daily basis. According to the numbers, the iPhone 8 represents about 2.22% of total iPhones in the market and translates to about 17.5 million sold.

The iPhone 8 Plus appears to be the more popular of the two and represents 2.94% of the iPhone market and is about 23.2 million sold. As for the iPhone X and given that it was released later, it is said to account for 2.63% of the market and represents about 20.7 million units sold. Note that these aren’t official figures so do take it with a grain of salt for now.

This seems to be in line with a report from Mixpanel last week which revealed that towards the end of November, the iPhone X managed to catch up with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in terms of adoption, and outpaced them in December.
