92,818 and 101,475 – Latest Crazy iPhone App Store Numbers
92,818 is the number of available apps in the iPhone App Store (at the time of taking a screencap earlier today). 101,475 is the total apps approved figure. Both figures are per the Appshopper.com site.
App Store numbers are starting to feel a bit unreal to me lately. Not in the disbelieving sort of sense “ just in the growing immune to their impact kind of way. Honestly, now that we ‘re talking tens upon tens of thousands of apps, and breaking into six figures, I don ‘t know how much more amazement I can squeeze out for any of these figures.
It feels to me like now we just need to hope for more and better efforts from Apple to help devs get their solid apps noticed and users find the good stuff more easily.

As said by someone before, the genius feature applied to the apps would solve many problems. It would'n fix them all, but it'd be a -really- good start
Don't we have that now? Admittedly, not very impressive so far – but there is a Genius tab on the Featured tab of the App Store.
Yeah but.. you said, it's not impressive. It's semi-hidden (i know it exists of it because i read iphone blogs, not because i found it) and it sucks. It's should be more visible and enhanced. A lot.
Agreed – just pointing out that it is there, they have made a start on that piece.
Wow that is a lot of apps!!! I agree Patrick there has to be a better way for apps to get noticed. It is hard task but it has to get done. Apple needs to separate the app store from the i-Tunes store. Apple treats both of them the same way which is where the problem is….. You can' treat music & app development in the same fashion. I wish Apple would understand this… I just hope they do have some smart people working on a solution somewhere in a locked room….
It is making it harder to find the good apps because there are som many bad ones. People scream about censorship but they want all the "bad" apps filtered out as well. There needs to be a way to filter through the chaff while allowing a broad range of app submissions.
