iPhone App Usage Highest During Evenings and Weekends

Localytics, a mobile analytics platform, has shared the results of its study on the behavior of iPhone users. The study shows that iPhone app usage is highest on weekends and evenings.

iPhone app behaviors reach their peak at 9 p.m. ET on weeknights, Localytics reports, adding that usage ramps up slowly over the course of the workday and then tops out when East Coast consumers are at home and their West Coast counterparts are commuting from work. iPhone users generate 7 percent greater traffic on weekends than during the average weekday--Saturday traffic is at its lowest ebb at 6 a.m., but accelerates to over 90 percent of peak usage by 11 a.m., remaining at or near its apex for the duration of the afternoon and evening.
