In-App Ads Consume Mucho Battery Life (Daringfireball)
Jacob Aron, NewScientist:
> Up to 75 per cent of the energy used by free versions of Android apps is
spent serving up ads or tracking and uploading user data: running just one app
could drain your battery in around 90 minutes.
>
> Abhinav Pathak, a computer scientist at Purdue University, Indiana, and
colleagues made the discovery after developing software to analyse apps’
energy usage. When they looked at popular apps such as Angry Birds, Free Chess
and NYTimes they found that only 10 to 30 per cent of the energy was spent
powering the app’s core function.
>
> For example, in Angry Birds only 20 per cent is used to display and run the
game, while 45 per cent is spent finding and uploading the user’s location
with GPS then downloading location-appropriate ads over a 3G connection.
I’ll bet it’s true for ad-based iOS apps too. Another reason to pay for apps
rather than settle for free ones.
