Free mobile apps 'drain battery faster'

Something for both game players and developers to think about when it comes to deciding on paying / charging a one-off fee for a game or having it free but advertising-supported...


"Free mobile apps which use third-party services to display advertising consume considerably more battery life, a new study suggests.

Findings suggested that in one case 75% of an app's energy consumption was spent on powering advertisements."
