Do Apps Create Platform Lock-in?

If you've bought $200 worth of applications for your smartphone, you're much less likely to switch to a different model in the future.

In short, high spending on smartphone apps ensures long-term platform loyalty.

App Cost

Twitter for iPhone Free

Reeder $2.99

Instapaper $4.99

Facebook Free

1Password $9.99

Total $17.97

Do Apps REALLY Create Platform Lock-in?

Switching Costs are Lower

Are App Stores Essential to a Platform’s Success?

almost six million downloads, and even with

all of the great chart positions and visibility –

just as many iPhone consumers use our

But it’s not just about making money.

20% of the Kenyan GDP transits a mobile

that 25% of the Kenyan GDP will transit a

mobile phone before the end of 2010.
