Delta App Updates - is this new?

[lancastor]

I have figured out, that iOS is downloading only incremental changed files on an App Update.

So you haven't to download the whole app again to update it.

Is this new in iOS6? I never heard about that. Or is this only a test from Apple and Delta Updates wouldn't be a feature in the GM release?

It's new and is expected to be in the final release.
