Woman Downloads 10 Billionth iTunes App, Thinks It’s a Prank
Posted in: Apple, itunes, Today's Chili, Weird News
Apple hit the magic number over the weekend. The company reached 10 billion app downloads on iTunes, thanks in part to a recently announced prize for the person who hit that big, round number.
Gail Davis, a resident of Kent, England walked away with the prize, scoring a $10,000 iTunes gift card for downloading a free app called Paper Glider–actually, that’s not entirely true. “I have to confess it wasn’t actually my download, it was my daughter’s,” Davis told the BBC.
When Apple reached out to congratulate her, Willy Wonka-style, Davis thought she was being punked. “I had no idea, when Apple called me,” Davis says. “I thought it was a prank call and I declined to take it.”
And then she came to her senses. “I had a moment of blind panic but thankfully Apple called me back. They said it’s not a joke and you are the winner.”
