How many people have downloaded the ABC’s iPhone app in Australia?

Well, Manuela Davo, a mobile producer from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, just tweeted that they had passed 700,000 users in Australia.

ABC iPhone App 700,000 Users in Australia

That is approximately 35% of all Australians with an iPhone (currently estimated to be 2 million). This would have to be the most popular media app in the country and with good reason.  It is the most comprehensive, varied and frequently updated of all the news applications (think text/image, video, radio). It rarely crashes. And it is free.

Simple.

    Thats pretty amazing. How reliable is the estimate that there are 2 million Australians with an iPhone?

  • Hi Chris -

    The estimate is quite reliable (I have confirmed data from all three major carriers (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone Hutchison) with their end-of-March numbers that correlate with this.

    Some data is missing with what they can share (for example Telstra does not share number of subscribers on business plans) so I have made very conservative estimations for this.
