Raul Terra's definitions
The stubborn refusal to give into the ever-growing plague of phone apps, based on an enlightened understanding of their redundant, siloed, and often privacy-invading nature.
Used to describe someone who actively rebels against the tsunami of bloatware, refuses to be another sheep in the herd of app redundancy, and generally believes that smartphones were better when they weren't weighed down by a million "essential" apps.
Note: Appstinate individuals may experience higher levels of battery life, reduced screen time, and a smug sense of superiority when hearing complaints about storage space. Side effects may include missing out on fleeting app trends that nobody remembers after two weeks.

Mike's appstinate attitude means his phone has more free storage than the entire App Store.
While everyone else was busy downloading the newest fad app, Jenna remained proudly appstinate, recognizing that she didn't need another digital leech sucking her battery and personal data.
Just because there's an app for that doesn't mean you need it. Be appstinate. Resist the urge.
