Finally all that power won’t be wasted waiting for a single app download to finish and install.
Now, they should do simultaneous app updates. That’s the slowest process on my phone.

Wow it only took… … … … 16 years. ffs.
Yeah, they could’ve bought this in 2020. Even the budget smartphones were strong enough to do this.
Alright, alright, y’all need to cut some slack for this small startup. Joe the intern had to rush this one over night with nothing but Notepad and Filezilla.
Now windows just need simultaneous program uninstallations.
I don’t get the hype over this. How often do you find your day interrupted by Play Store downloads that one finds this to be an important upgrade? My apps generally update while I’m asleep, I pretty much never need to wait for them.
This is for app installs not updates.
They so need to add this for updates too
Kinda handy during first time setup though. Can easily be 30 system apps updating, plus all the shit you might be grabbing from previous installs.
Ahh yeah, that’s a good point, I forgot about the recovery process. In that case, yeah I can absolutely see this saving a bunch of time when transferring devices.
Swapping to new phones is really dreadful because of apps installs. It seems like the whole process is great EXCEPT app installs.
I’m still waiting
I’m afraid this isn’t really going to be horribly effective. There are bottlenecks in the network stack and there are bottlenecks in the process of writing to the internal storage.
Maybe if one of the apps was hosted on crappy storage somewhere… Even at 1:00 at a time and choose through some fairly decent amounts of CPU.
But, it is efficient. If I download 2 or 3 large apps they get downloaded simultaneously and the lowest size app gets installed 1st. Meanwhile, previously it had to wait until one app was downloaded then wait to install them one by one. Which would be as much as 3 times slow.
Finally all that power won’t be wasted waiting for a single app download to finish and install.
Wait, what do you mean by this?
It takes ages updating apps one by one. Your smartphone is capable enough to download
and updatemultiple apps simultaneously speeding the install process significantly.Edit: just downloads for now and hopefully updates in the future
Sure, but why would this lead to a decrease in power consumption? I’m not sure that follows.
Modern phones do a thing called “race to sleep”. If they’re awake every other background process also runs, so it’s beneficial to do the task as quickly as possible then go back to sleep.
