We all know the iPhone is seen as a status symbol, or a highly desirable object, but in a recent growing trend, style might just be swaying the deciding factor of application purchases by App Store users.
In a quite controversial trend, It seems users may be looking at the one thing which hits you first, when buying any application from the store – it’s icon. With recent threads popping up on numerous message boards over the internet, App Store users seem increasingly more conscious of how the application icon will look on their home screens, without actually weighing up the functionality of the application, first …
According to TheSpaz of Mac Rumors
“If the icon doesn’t look good… I don’t buy the App… I don’t want a beautiful home screen with an eye sore on it.”
I find this interesting. If you base your App Store purchases on the quality or aesthetic look of the icon, please do tell me about it in the comments section. What makes you ultimately buy an application for your iPhone or iPod touch?
