Size of top iOS apps by category 2022

As of February 2022, the first apps appearing to users on the Apple App Store results page were between 153 and 206 Megabytes in size. The decrease in size appears to correspond to a decrease in the app position ranking: mobile games ranking first in the Apple App Store results page were on average around 430 Megabytes large. According to industry sources, while it is not clear what allows certain apps to appear among the first results on the Apple App Store results page, app store optimization practices can help developers increase their app visibility and users' interactions.
