The Apple iPhone 4 has proven to be phenomenally popular since its release last year.
Integration with services such as iTunes and the AppStore means that the sky’s the limit in terms of customisation and functionality for Apple customers.Without a doubt, one of the major contributing factors to the success of the device is the AppStore which allows users to peruse hundreds of thousands of apps which can be downloaded at the user’s leisure. In this article I will take a look some of the benefits of the AppStore to users of the Apple iPhone 4.
Gaming
The dedicated games category and the AppStore contains thousands of games which can be downloaded almost instantly. Many are free whereas several charge a small fee (although paid games often have a free trial or “lite” version available). An example of one of the more popular games is Angry Birds, which the user controls the characters simply by operating the touchscreen. For those who like an intellectual challenge there are also Sudoku and crossword apps available, as well as numerous other word and number games. If you like your action games, there are titles such as “Call of Duty” and the “Need for Speed” which require users to carry out shooting and driving tasks respectively. In fact if you have a favourite console or computer game for chances are there is now a version available on the AppStore, optimised specifically for the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Productivity
Applications such as Numbers and QuickOffice allow users to view, edit and create spreadsheets and text documents right on their iPhone. This is the perfect app for business users who like to stay productive when out of the office, as well as people like students. Within the productivity category you can also find a whole range of applications ranging from radio alarm clocks and calendars and the handy Shift Worker app, which allows users to enter their work shifts and help them stay on track of their schedules.
Gaming and productivity are just two of the 20 categories, which combined provide over 350,000 applications. Whilst competitors such as Android Market offer an alternative, they are currently nowhere near the scale provided by the AppStore. By taking advantage of the hardware of the iPhone itself, there are seemingly infinite possibilities when it comes to new applications.
Without the AppStore, the iPhone 4 would probably still be successful but nowhere as popular as it is thanks to the apps available.
