Apple increased iPhone download limit to 20 MB

Now, you would not have to worry about downloading bigger files on your Apple iPhone for Apple has increased the download limits on the iPhone over 3G networks from 10MB to 20 MB. Many believe that this is a sign that Apple iPad would be coming with bigger multimedia content.

Previously, if any user wanted to download any application from the app store or pod cast which was more than 10 MB, a message would appear on the screen saying the user to switch to Wi-Fi for the file is too large but now they would not have to worry about size anymore.

The download limitation was implemented so that iPhone users do not put too much pressure on its 3G network. In fear of huge traffic, AT&T also disabled iPhone tethering. Recently, AT&T also enabled Sling Player 3G on the iPhone.

In December 2009, “Annual Consumer Reports Study” revealed that iPhone subscribers in 19 U.S. cities are very much unhappy with AT&T’s service. Still, Apple forged a new deal with AT&T to provide data services for its iPad which would further increase the data traffic. AT&T is working on upgrading its 3G network and preparing to launch 4G network on a limited scale this year.
