After five years, Apple reveals the all-time best-selling iOS games
Angry Birds rules the roost.
Apple has marked the five year anniversary of its iOS App Store by revealing the best-selling downloads across all of its platforms. And, unsurprisingly, Angry Birds features pretty heavily.
The original avian puzzler took top spot in the paid-for iPhone chart and came second on iPad. Altogether, different versions accounted for three of the top 10 downloads on both devices.
Games in general accounted for almost all of the iPhone chart and the majority of the iPad chart, with non-game applications more prevalent on the free app listings.
Halfbrick's Fruit Ninja and other App Store regulars such as Cut the Rope and Doodle Jump are also unsurprisingly present.
The full lists lie below.
