Most likely in preparation for the iPad launch, Apple has just raised the maximum size of apps that can be download over 3G to 20MB.
Until now, the iPhone required a Wi-Fi connection to download apps bigger than 10mb, probably to preserve wireless carriers. While this might seem like not much of a change, it actually plays a much bigger role than you think. Many developers told us it is essential for them to have their apps available over 3G, indeed, most apps are actually bought on the move.
The arrival of the iPad has however created a serious supplementary dilemma. The higher resolution of the iPad asks for better graphics which take a lot of space. Developers were left wondering whether to keep their apps under 10mb and available everywhere, or give them better graphics but lose the 3G sales.
Well, it seems like we’ll be having both in the end.
Nice move Apple!
So I found out last night. in my opinion still not good enough.
This limit is very annoying for me. Since I currently have no Wi-Fi, I have to connect my iPhone to the computer and use Internet Tethering to download games over 10 (20, since today) MB. I don’t get this limit anyway, why have it when you can download games over 20MB on your computer (using Internet Tethering – from the iPhone)?
Any information whether or not this holds true for the non-US (like Germany) as well?
northstreamer… if its safe to assume ur jb to tether… then 3g unristrictor solves ur problem
Boss: I encountered the raised limit when trying to download an app yesterday. I am in Denmark, so I think it’ll hold true for Germany as well.
there should be no restrictions for 3g – especially for those with unlimited data plans
Does this include podcasts and other media downloads >10 MB? It’s annoyng that I have to wait until I get home to download podcasts longer than 40 min.
A silly rule. My home wifi network that I use to download large apps is powered by a 3G verizon mifi.
