With so many trends competing for your attention, it’s difficult to know which ones are important and should be considered, versus what should be discarded as “noise.” Through all of this, a few things are true. Smartphones and tablets are becoming the most ubiquitous and closely held devices on Earth. There isn’t a device in the world like a smartphone. A study by Morgan Stanley showed that 91% of mobile users always keep their device within arm’s reach.
People are also spending record amounts of time with their device and a study from Flurry showed that this use is approaching the number of minutes spent watching television. Some demographic segments are already spending more time on mobile than watching televison. As you can imagine, some young consumers watch little television as compared to mobile device usage.
People now surf the web and download apps with their smartphones as opposed to browsing the web with their desktops This was noticed early on by Steve Jobs (Source: D8 conference 2010) and has been observed by many of the other players including Flurry and Adobe. In fact, Adobe notes that mobile apps are 3 – 4x more interactive than mobile websites.
People see the benefits of apps and are downloading them in record numbers. According to informit.com and Apple, the number of Google and iOS (Apple) apps downloaded by mid-2014 is 80 billion and 75 billion respectively.
Seeing the moneymaking potential, many investors, businesses, and stakeholders have gone on to exploit the opportunity. As of November 2014, per Appbrain and Apple, the number of apps in Google Play and the iTunes Store are 1.36 million and 1.2 million respectively. That’s a lot of apps, but despite that, Steve Jobs said we are just in the infancy of the change we can expect in the next 100 years.
