Why do Android phones come pre-installedwith so many junk apps?Ever bought an Android phone? When you unwrap it, you realize prettyquickly that it’s crammed with all kinds of useless apps you never asked for:NFL Mobile, Candy Crush, Samsung Pay, Verizon Navigator (a knockoff ofGoogle Maps that costs $5 a month), you name it. [37] Smartphone makers likeSamsung, mobile carriers like Verizon, and phone sellers euphemistically callthese “pre-installed apps” and claim that they showcase the functionality andperformance of the phone. [38] But most of us just call it “bloatware,” and wearen’t fans. [39]A Samsung Galaxy S8 full of bloatware. It appears that the bloatware apps
were so annoying that the phone’s owner put the apps into their own folderjust to get them out of the way!Most pre-installed apps can’t be uninstalled and, by default, run constantly inthe background, which eats up battery, makes your phone run slower, andwastes storage space. [40] One reviewer found that his new Samsung GalaxyS8 had 37 bloatware apps that ate up 12GB of his 64GB of storage as soon ashe peeled off the plastic. [41] Sometimes things get truly absurd, like whenVerizon pre-installed a bloatware app on Galaxy S7s that would downloadother bloatware apps without the user knowing. [42]It’s not that easy to fight back, either. While you can disable some bloatwareapps and prevent them from running in the background and wasting yourbattery, they’ll still take up storage on your phone. [43]Simply put, bloatware is aggravating.The business of bloatSo why does your phone come with so much junk? Mobile carriers andsmartphone manufacturers aren’t just trying to be mean. It turns out thatbloatware is at the center of a pretty lucrative business model.The bloatware business model arose when smartphone manufacturers likeHTC and mobile carriers like AT&T realized that the American market forsmartphones and data plans is pretty much saturated. That is, almost everyonewho wants a phone and data plan already has them, so manufacturers andcarriers can’t grow their revenue much by just selling phones and data plans.Instead, they’ve turned to new ways of making money — which leads themstraight to bloatware. [44] There are two big ways carriers and phone makersmake money off bloatware.First, app makers can pay carriers and phone makers to pre-install their apps.For instance, Verizon once offered to pre-install big companies’ apps for $1to $2 per installation. [45] In other words, if your Verizon phone has 10bloatware apps, Verizon could have made an easy $20 off you. It’s free
