Lucas and Luna dive into the growing size of mobile apps — why a simple ride-hailing app now takes up 300 megabytes and what developers are doing about it. They break down the shift from native code to cross-platform frameworks, the impact of richer UIs and third-party SDKs, and strategies like app thinning and on-demand resources. With iOS 20 and Android 16 pushing new features, the average app size has grown 35% in two years. The hosts also discuss the tradeoff between feature richness and storage constraints, especially on budget devices. A practical look at mobile bloat and its hidden costs for users.
