Apple has doubled the download cap for media downloaded on the iPhone over the 3G network.
Before, iPhone owners could not download apps or iTunes media surpassing 10MB in size over the 3G network. A message would appear instructing users to connect to Wi-Fi to perform the download. Now that limitation has been increased to 20MB, according to our testing and multiple independent reports.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the change. Some theorize the cap was increased in advance of the release of the iPad tablet, whose games will likely be considerably larger in file size. The iPad is due for release in late March.
