Apple owns the top 6 highest-revenue apps in its own app store (among the top 100 global brands)

In October, Apple owned the six of the highest-revenue apps in the iOS app store, for apps by the world’s top 100 brands. And corporate friend-of-the-family Disney owned the next four, rounding out the top 10, as Distimo’s apps and brands mobile report shows:

1. Pages
2. iMovie
3. Keynote
4. Numbers
5. GarageBand
6. iPhoto
7. Disney Junior Appisodes
8. Seven Dwarfs, the Queen’s Return
9. Hidden Objects: Gardens of Time
10. Alice in Wonderland: A New Champion

The fact that Disney is excellent at extracting revenue from the willing wallets of mobile consumers might not be a big surprise. After all, the movie magic company has always been good at monetizing entertainment. But the fact that Apple is number one (and number two, and number three, and so on …) on its own platform is surprising and even a little odd.
