App Download Limit

[JasonHB]

Hi All

I realise that Apple have had the app download limit when not on WiFi and this was increased to 150Mb recently.

However, I’ve just downloaded an app that was just short of 300Mb on 3G/4G and I just wondered whether this is a new change or related to my iPhone X?

I know they have app thinning but the app was showing 285Mb in the storage on my phone.

Just curious on this one.

Actually, the file download limitation over cellular should have been a carrier one, not Apple's - so that setting would have been set when you activated or downloaded updated carrier settings.

According to Apple it’s 150...

This suggests that it is actually an Apple enforced limit?
