Apple Doubles Over-the-Air App Store Download Limit to 100MB

With the advent of iOS 7, Apple also quietly raised the limit for over-the-air App Store downloads from 50MB to 100MB.

This means you no longer have to connect to a Wi-Fi internet connection to download apps or other content that's up to 100MB in size.

This simple change will make life easier to many users, as modern apps -- especially games -- quite often take well over 50MB.

The question, perhaps, is whether Apple should've raised the cap even more. For example, the freshly launched game Infinity Blade III has a whopping 1.47GB in size, and the current top paid app in the app store, Pixel Gun 3D, is 132MB big.
