| Off by about 33,999,998 users, but still a decent dunk. https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/06/06/apple-now-has-ove... |

| 34 million developers? That number doesn't even pass a basic sniff test. Are there 34 million people that have Xcode installed? That I can believe. |

| ▲ | tomashubelbauer 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I feel like the #1 reason to install Xcode is to get Git working on macOS. Yours is probably #2. I wouldn't bet money on iOS/macOS development sitting at #3. | | |

I think that means either: * they have revenues of $3.4b/year just from the $100 annual fees, or
* some decent percentage of people have signed up for a free developer account and then never done anything with it (like me)
