Simultaneous downloads are something that should have been a thing years ago and have been a part of the Apple ecosystem for as long as I can remember. For reasons best known only to Google, the Play Store always lined up apps and downloaded them one by one, even though modern-day smartphones are more than capable of more. I’d even settle for a toggle switch that lets you disable simultaneous downloads. We don’t want some of the lower-specced phones to combust spontaneously, do we?

It looks like Google is finally coming around to testing simultaneous app downloads at the Play Store. The change appears to be a server-side one, so only a few users have been able to witness it. I wasn’t fortunate enough to be able to witness it in its full glory, sadly. Hopefully, Google flips the switch and lets everyone in on the fun in the near future.
