Finally all that power won’t be wasted waiting for a single app download to finish and install.

Now, they should do simultaneous app updates. That’s the slowest process on my phone.

    I’m afraid this isn’t really going to be horribly effective. There are bottlenecks in the network stack and there are bottlenecks in the process of writing to the internal storage.

    Maybe if one of the apps was hosted on crappy storage somewhere… Even at 1:00 at a time and choose through some fairly decent amounts of CPU.

      But, it is efficient. If I download 2 or 3 large apps they get downloaded simultaneously and the lowest size app gets installed 1st. Meanwhile, previously it had to wait until one app was downloaded then wait to install them one by one. Which would be as much as 3 times slow.
