Most smartphone users have zero app downloads per month

The popularity and utility of mobile apps has soared since Apple launched the iphone App Store in 2008. However, according to comscore statistics, most U.S. smartphone users have a typical month of application downloads of zero. Only about One-third of smartphone users download apps in an average month, and download as many as 1-3 apps.

One possible explanation is that people do not need so many applications that people already have applications that can do most of the function. According to comscore statistics, about 42% of smartphone users spend their time on a single application that is most commonly used. The top 25 most commonly used applications come from large, mature companies, including Facebook, Google, Pandora, and Yahoo.

Another possible reason is that it is still not easy for smartphone users to find and download new applications. Apple's App Store has been criticized by users for its poor search capabilities, relying heavily on Apple's own app rankings, bad search engines, helping developers get richer, and making better newer apps harder to pay attention to.

Last month, there were reports that the iphone 6 's backlight module was in trouble, and Apple wanted to reduce the iphone 6 backlight design from the 2-piece brightening film to 1-piece brightening film, a design that could further lower the thickness of the iphone 6.
