Cloud smartphone app APhone has launched an app store – AppNest – currently exclusive to its own app.

Basically, users can use all applications on their cloud, make calls, play games and do anything they would normally do on their phone, but without having to utilise their phone’s memory.
App Nest features cryptocurrency and blockchain apps such as Binance, OKX, Phantom, Metamask, Bitget Wallet, Uniswap and Aave Alarm among others, casual games such as Mighty Action Heroes, BattleTech and Stargate and other apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and ChatGPT.
The app/cloud based smartphone APhone allows users to run hardware-intensive applications, apps across blockchain systems and web2 applications on low end devices through any device with a browser, eliminating the need for expensive and high end hardware to get work done.
