Amazon isn't going to care about the size of the app if consumers don't care. And the majority don't probably even realize.

I use the Amazon app regularly and my phone has enough storage to fit the app more that 600 times. It's not a particularly expensive phone either.

Given that I'm not sure why I should care as long as it works.

As a dev I agree it's technically interesting to find out why, as a user I think it just doesn't matter.

You have over 100 gig of storage space free on your 'old' phone? I just upgraded a year ago to 32 total gigs.

I can see why jumbo app wouldn't affect you.

I've got 7t on my desktop. Would you mind if chrome automatically updated to 1t. It's not a new computer pre-owned 2015

But if 10% or even just 1% of users do care, it's absolutely worth it for Amazon. That's the point.

Will that 1% stop buying from Amazon, or will they just use the website instead? Gut instinct (and personal experience) says they're not really losing anything here.

[IgorPartola]

Will you actually not buy things from Amazon due to their app size? If the answer is that you’ll continue spending money with them, you don’t care.

I doubt even 0.1% users care.
