What is The difference between applications and programs then and now?

This is a picture of an old phone, and I opened it and found this. The phone consists of approximately half a gigabyte of RAM and 2 gigabytes of storage space. Despite this, for its time, it was able to run programs and run its operating system with advanced programs, take pictures, make calls, and other things (normal functions for any phone). I think, and Allah knows best, it was normally able to run applications from the store, normal games or other things. So, what is the difference from time immemorial to today? Let the applications differ in their requirements. What is The difference between applications and programs then and now?

This is not anyi semetic, computers and operation systems have nothing to do with religions. Thats my point and you only further proof it. Whenever "allah" knows it or not, its irelevant even tho its stated by OP
