New App Report
Here are the new iOS apps released 5/12–5/18. In total there were 16,613.
TRENDS
The average size of an app released was 31.3 MB. Using Verizon’s average LTE speed, the average time it takes to download an app released last week is 20-50 seconds. That is in good coverage areas; with mobile speeds internationally being slower, downloading an app released last week takes much longer abroad. The next billion users will be mobile and international, so that poses a problem. For example, based on Brazil’s fastest 3g speed of 2.3 Mbps, downloading an app released last week would take on average 108 seconds; Brazil currently increasing its LTE coverage, however.
Google’s solution is Instant Apps, announced last week, which lets consumers experience bits of native apps without downloading them. This doesn’t speed up download times, but it does build a bridge to native app experiences.
