Google Play Store rolling out simultaneous Android app downloads
After on and off testing, Google looks to have now rolled out simultaneous app downloads and installs on the Play Store...
Finally all that power won't be wasted waiting for a single app download to finish and install.
Now, they should do simultaneous app updates. That's the slowest process on my phone.

Wait, what do you mean by this?
It takes ages updating apps one by one. Your smartphone is capable enough to download
and updatemultiple apps simultaneously speeding the install process significantly.Edit: just downloads for now and hopefully updates in the future
It says it doesn't apply to updates, only app downloads...
Sorry yeah no updates yet but downloads.
Sure, but why would this lead to a decrease in power consumption? I'm not sure that follows.
Modern phones do a thing called "race to sleep". If they're awake every other background process also runs, so it's beneficial to do the task as quickly as possible then go back to sleep.
