With iOS 7 successfully launching across the board for Apple devices, the company has tweaked its ability to download applications “over-the-air”, or through regular 3G/4G connection without Wi-Fi. One key category of apps likely to benefit is, of course, games. This won’t help Infinity Blade 3, which clocks in at 1.47 GB, but many games will fall under the new 100 MB limit.
Apple confirmed today that you can download apps through the store that are no greater than 100 MB to your device without the need to connect it to a computer or Wi-Fi network. Anything above that, however, will still require the connection.
This is a significant raise from the company’s previous limit of 50 MB, and you can expect some app makers to move past their data loading limits with new applications and programs in the months ahead as a result.
