Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smartphone apps allow consumers to easily compare prices and products in real-time while shopping in physical retail stores, which creates increased competition for those stores. Consumers can easily check prices at other stores, read reviews, and even make purchases without ever having to leave the physical store. This has led to a shift in power from physical retailers to consumers, as consumers now have more information and can make more informed purchasing decisions.
