Ready for the growth of app downloads this year?

 

According to a report by Flurry, iOS and Android apps generally experience much higher downloads during Christmas, thanks to the massive number of smartphones and tablets given out as christmas gifts. This year, recent releases like iPhone 5, Galaxy Note II and Google Nexus are probably on the christmas wishlist of millions.

According to the statistics released by Flurry, there were 6.8 million new devices activated alone on Christmas Day of last year. This represents a 353% increase when comparing to the average daily device activation of the first 20 days of December.

 

With the massive increase in device activation during Christmas, there is no doubt that app downloads would skyrocket as well. (wouldn’t you want  to download apps right away after getting your new device?)
According to the statistics by Flurry, app downloads experienced a 125% increase on Christmas last year.
