Possibly a controversial opinion here but… who cares? I don’t mean this in a snarky way. If you’re an app developer you’ve got limited development time like everyone else. Most phones have at least 128gb internal memory and the app is downloaded over WiFi. I just don’t see this as a constraint.
Sure you could have a CDN and lazy load but then the app doesn’t work without internet. Just dump it all on the device.
- ravenstine 2y agoTo me, it's not so much about the size itself but its correlation with poorly engineered applications that are slow, buggy, and stupid.
- joebob42 2y agoFelt the same. I agree with the whole "why is there even an app" thread, but it being 300mb doesn't seem like that big a deal to me.
- MaxBarraclough 2y ago> who cares? Some people have limited storage space remaining on their device. Some people have slow Internet, or capped Internet.
- jakelsaunders94 2y agoLimited storage space is a valid argument I guess, though with music / everything streaming these days I’ve always struggled to see how you’d fill up a 128gb phone. And I’ve obviously got no data to support this but i suspect the cross number of people downloading the Oral B toothbrush app on 4G internet out and about would be low. Feels like the number of people in developing countries buying an app-enabled toothbrush would be similar.
- 3np 2y agoSmartphones with 32GB or less storage are not rare. I can still buy a brand-new Android phone at the local electronics chain with 32GB storage.
