<i>in today&#x27;s market you have to have the apps to succeed</i><p>I&#x27;m not sure how true this is. You need some apps, to be sure. But I own an Android phone had have installed less than half-a-dozen apps that it did not come with out of the box.<p>I use gmail, maps, messenger, calendar, contacts, and web browser (chrome). That&#x27;s 95% of my phone usage.<p>I wonder how many users there are that don&#x27;t play games or use a lot of social media apps. I&#x27;d guess a fair number in the 30+ age group. But maybe most of them have stayed with feature phones.
