A well-designed app is much better to use than a mobile web browser, even on a large phoneīefore going on, I want to make it clear that I am not against apps as a software type. Just as there are too many confusing, often redundant choices on the breakfast cereal shelves at the grocery store, there are too many duplicative and puzzling choices in the Apple and Google Play app stores. Or, on the other hand, how many were great but did more than I ever needed. How many were redundant or disappointing. How many had been superseded by better apps or by functions built into the phone or my other devices since their debut. I attacked my phone’s app landfill to learn how very many apps which once seemed interesting or necessary hadn’t made it into the toolkit of my life. No, this column is really about the fact that I think the novelty of the app itself has worn off. It’s easier to save space by offloading most photos, video, and music to the cloud anyway.

Maybe you, too, can cut 54 percent of them and gain back 24 percent more free space.īut this isn’t one of those columns about digital housecleaning or how to free up more space on your iPhone, valuable as those are. Yet I maintain that the same principle applies to you: you very likely have too many apps, taking up precious space, and you should ruthlessly kill off the ones you don’t use or need. You very likely have too many apps taking up precious space Also, because of my job, I always buy smartphones with the maximum amount of memory - in this case, an iPhone 6S with 128GB of storage - so I’m not as conscientious about deleting apps and other files as quickly as a typical user might be to protect their 16GB of storage. It’s my job to test apps, among other things. Let me admit right away that these numbers are outliers, and probably are a lot larger than yours. When I was done, I had significantly decreased the phone’s clutter: I’d gone from 15 home screens to eight, and reclaimed nearly 8GB of free space, about a 24 percent gain in my case. Over the past few days, I’ve methodically deleted 165 apps from my iPhone, about 54 percent of the 305 apps I had on the phone when I started culling the herd.
