Apple's 25 Billionth App Downloaded in China

One lucky user in eastern China just found out some good news — they'll be taking home a $10,000 prize for downloading the 25 billionth app from Apple's App Store.

Chunli Fu of Qingdao, a city in eastern China, downloaded a free version of Disney's physics-based puzzle game "Where's My Water?" to win the $10,000 (63,000 yuan) iTunes gift card, Apple announced on Monday.

"We'd like to thank our customers and developers for helping us achieve this historic milestone of 25 billion apps downloaded," Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, said in a statement. "When we launched the App Store less than four years ago, we never imagined that mobile apps would become the phenomenon they have, or that developers would create such an incredible selection of apps for iOS users."

Apple announced that it had reached the landmark download milestone over the weekend, but did not reveal the winner at that time.
