900,000
That’s how many apps are in the App Store
We will cover 60* in 60** minutes

Asterisks...
* The number of apps is a rough estimate as some developers have multiple versions of apps or “Lite” vs “Premium” options** 60 minutes is the full session but there will be time left for questions
Think of it as 60+ apps in 45-ish minutes...

Each slide will contain 1-3 apps of a specific function
