50MB > 20MB

[iWish]

With the launch of the 3rd Generation iPad, Apple has increased the over-the-air download limit for the App Store to 50MB, up from 20MB.

It's getting there.

Wait can someone please explain this to me? I just won an iPad recently and have no idea what this limit thing means.

You'll now be able to download an App no bigger than 50MB via 3G. If the App is greater than 50MB, you can only download it via WiFi.

It's to save the network from degrading and choking from too much data ....

However you're more than able to go to Newstand and get yourself a 500MB magazine on 3G

Logic fail? :/

Thanks It won't affect me though as I have the wifi model.

It's also a way for Apple to force developers to reduce unnecessary bloat, one job I worked on was over 20MB, just by not being lazy they are able to half the size of the app.

Silly limit still exists, lol.

 

[bwana]

It's a silly limit but not one I've yet to actually experience since it seems to only apply to downloading apps from the app store.

Also podcast and those type of stuff. But yes with the 50meg limit you would not really run into this much.

Oh - no longer to protect the networks?

Networks too, to avoid those scary data bills.

Too true; inconsistent. At least the increase helps some what.
