Indian consumers are showing their love for mobile apps

Mobile app usage in India is exploding. More consumers are beginning to use a variety of application in their daily lives, with these apps ranging from shopping platforms to social media tools and everything in between. At the recent Apps India conference, mobile experts noted that app usage was increasing due to growing smartphone penetration and the growing interest that consumers have in mobile commerce. As the country’s mobile Internet continues to expand, more consumers are likely to make use of mobile applications as well.

Growing mobile Internet usage is leading more consumers to use mobile apps

Consumers accessing the Internet through their mobile devices are most likely to use applications, especially when it comes to shopping online. Mobile shopping apps have become quite popular among consumers as these applications provide an enjoyable and convenient shopping experience. Notably, educational apps are also becoming more prominent among consumers, as these applications provide consumers with an opportunity to learn new things at their convenience.

App economy is having an impact on India’s economy

Growing app usage has also had a positive impact on India’s economy. The app economy has created approximately 75,000 direct jobs throughout the country with the potential to create some 600,000 direct jobs over the coming years. Retailers have also found significant success in the mobile space through their focus on mobile commerce. Mobile shopping applications have made it possible for consumers to shop with their smartphones and tablets in a more convenient way and this has lead to higher revenues for some retailers.

More than 9 billion apps to be downloaded this year

The number of consumers using mobile apps has increased significantly over the past year. Approximately 9 billion mobile apps will be downloaded throughout the country by the end of this year, which is more than five times the number of apps that were downloaded in 2012. This is presenting app developers with very promising opportunities that they can take advantage of to engage consumers and provide them with tools and services that they could be interested in.

This speculation has stated that the addition to the wearable tech could arrive as soon as 2016.

According to a new report that has been released by “Letem světem Applem” one of the next upgrades to the mobile technology available from Apple could be a smart band for its smartwatch.

This change in the Apple Watch accessory could occur instead of updating the actual smartwatch.

By adding the mobile technology of a smart band to the Apple Watch, it has the potential to add a number of features and improvements to the smartwatch. For example, the sensors within the smart band wouldn’t just be able to provide the wearer with added biofeedback. Instead, they could also work to actually recharge the device battery. This could help to overcome one of the primary complaints that consumers have about the device, which is that its battery life is simply not long enough when compared to their expectations for the device.

This would involve the use of the hidden diagnostic port within the mobile technology, and it has already been tested.

To recharge the wearable tech device, the sensors would use the hidden diagnostic port. That method has already been demonstrated to be effective. The site that has shared this rumor has also indicated that these new bands will also have a number of sensors embedded into it that simply could not be contained within the actual smartwatch.

Moreover, it also claims that there will be a blood pressure sensor, a respiratory rate sensor, and a body temperature sensor. None of those could effectively be housed inside the smartwatch, but they could be worked into a wrist band to provide wearers with biofeedback that has a certain degree of accuracy. The Apple Watch couldn’t, for example, house the body temperature sensor, as the heat of the device itself would change the results of the reading.

Naturally, there has not been any official confirmation of these rumors that smart band mobile technology would be added to the next Apple Watch. Even if it were absolutely true, the company has a strict policy not to reveal any information with regards to upcoming technology, releases, announcements, or other confirmations or denials of rumors.
