Safety Detectives has just completed a research project that focuses on the differences in storage footprints between the top 50 most-downloaded applications on the iOS App Store and their Android counterparts.
Among their many findings:
- On average, an iOS app is twice the size of its Android counterpart.
- Apple includes more assets in the base app package while Android apps can split their components into smaller, on-demand modules.
- After installation and regular use, Android apps grow an average of almost twice the size of their iOS counterparts.
- Google Gemini has the largest proportional difference, being roughly 40 times larger on iOS.
