Thanks to a study conducted on the iPhone owners who download free applications for their iPhone, it looks like Apple will be phasing out the free apps and require application downloaders to pay for the apps that they want.

The reason behind this is to preserve the value of the applications to which only 30 percent of users who fetch new applications usually vacate them after the first install.

“Paid applications generally retain their users longer than free applications, although the drop-off is still pretty steep,” a Pinch Media spokesperson said.

Throughout the RIM BlackBerry Storm vs Apple iPhone debate, most people supported one phone over the other based solely on the number of free applications available for the device.

While both mobile phones do offer an online store to retrieve free and paid applications, smartphone users should base their choice on the quality and usability of the mobile device and not its app store.
