On Wednesday, research firm Nielsen released updated figures on the changes in smartphone app use during the past year. In that period, the average number of apps per smartphone has jumped from 32 apps to 41, among people who use an iPhone or an Android phone.
Despite the explosion of new apps, smartphone users still prefer Facebook, YouTube and Gmail. They're spending about the same amount of time with apps as they did a year ago, however — 39 minutes per day compared with 37 minutes in 2011.
