I continued the experiment for a total of 6 weeks. Any new apps installed were excluded from the count.Do not uninstall any apps during this period.Every week at 5pm on a Friday I document the update list then start the update process.Auto-update is off and no manual updates allowed until the weekly deadline.One Friday I turned off auto-update for apps and let the update queue build up for a week. That may sound like a lot, but check yourself – you might be surprised how many you have installed today. Consequently I have just over 250 apps on my device. When new apps come out I often install them just to see how the interface looks or a specific onboarding experience is achieved. As a director of a UX Design agency I download a lot of apps. This got me thinking – as a user who has a lot of apps installed, how much bandwidth does my phone use to keep my apps updated? I saw a few posts circulating on twitter recently, regarding facebook and the size of its mobile app downloads, with users making comparisons to other apps.
