And though it didn’t make the top five, Health & Fitness apps also grew 75 percent year-over-year to account for an average of $2.70, up from $1.60 in 2017
But in the near-term, the big takeaway for developers is that there is still good money to be made on the App Store, even if iPhone sales are slowing

Apple wasn't the only smartphone brand struggling in China this fall

MagSafe makes a full comeback for your USB-C MacBooks
Do you miss MagSafe? How about an updated version that fully supports Thunderbolt 3?

Fortunately, I've been able to follow the ThunderMag's progress closely, especially when I received the first prototype back in June last year
For now, though, backers should receive their goods as early as April, but as always, proceed with caution
