It may be noted that I am not quite the typical iPhone or Mac users. I download just about any App that looks interesting. But this is getting ridiculous. I can not go a day, without getting prompted to update or download an update. So I decided to track which apps and when I was prompted to update.
The stats are this. One month. 39 updates. Over 1 a day.
I don't know what the solution is but something has to happen.
I propose an integrated platform for all updates. I can then once a month view all the apps (iPhone and Mac included) that need updating and can approve all at once any and all updates.
For the curious here are the apps and days.
