AppStoreStatistics' September Pulse logged 19,909 app updates and 1,193 new releases in the first half of the month.
Finance category read:
- Update velocity above average — the iOS 27 scramble drove rapid iteration
- Top movers: apps shipping iOS 27 support fastest captured featured placements and user goodwill
- Review sentiment shifted toward "does it work on iOS 27" mentions — compatibility is now the first thing users check in reviews
The signal for ASO: update frequency correlates with review velocity. Apps shipping weekly see more reviews; more reviews (handled well) = higher category rank. The treadmill is real.
