I'm not always in Wifi and can't download apps more than 20mb. So technically the iphone isn't as portable or advanced as Apple say
With all my respect here in Egypt we are useing the Internet USB modem to connect to the Internet and we can download as we want no limits, and I have the same package on my iPad 2 from Vodafone, and for them it should not change anything, it is an apple thing they limit us not the carrier
The carriers do not want FaceTime over 3G because it will eat away their cell phone usage and long distance revenue. It already is with people using it over WiFi and jailbroken phones... I read somewhere that FT is eventually going to be an open standard so that people will eventually be able to video call any system/device that supports it, so don't expect this limitation ever to be removed. The limitation on FT and on the amount of downloads has nothing to do with network congestion, because you can download 10 20MB apps at the same time, but you can't download one 200 MB app. The reason for the limitation is the because of the limitation on FT. If they didn't have the limitation on the amount you could download then people would have a stronger argument that network issues are not the reason if they only limited FT over 3G.
Technical studies have been done on these 3G networks and the amount of data you can squeeze through one frequency is mind boggling. Sorry I don't have any references at the moment, but they are out there.
Only the technical guys really know the answer. All I can say is that it's the same worldwide. Only if you jailbreak or get a mifi.
Absolute rubbish. Rudegar is correct, you can tether iphone to pc then download to itunes on pc and then sync app to iphone. So if u can download OVER 20mb with iphone tethered to pc, then you are still using the same sim card and carrier. All you need is to by pass the pc and download straight to iphone. You can also video call (face time) on any android device OVER 3G if set up with your carrier and your android device has front facing camera. Come on APPLE sort it out. Also I would like LIVE wallpapers. YES i know it will drain my battery more, but thats MY choice to use them or not and should not be 'blocked' by APPLE. the technolagy is out there but not implemented in any ios.
UPDATE: I can also use cheap htc wildfire as a wireless wifi hotspot and connect my iphone to it via wifi and download over 20mb files using the htc phone/simcard/carrier(service provider). So it is not a carrier block but implemented by APPLE??????
The htc can also download over 20mb apps/content over the air, ie on 3g and NOT using wifi.
I then put my iphone sim into the htc and could also download over 20mb content straight to the htc phone over 3g on my current tarrif/sim card provider/carrier.
Put sim card back in iphone and back to no downloads over 20mb.
There for this is down to APPLE restriction AGAIN.
If u have an iPhone 4s then switch on personal wifi connect it to your iPad and u get unlimited Internet on your iPad :)
Why is there the dabate?
If you try to directly download 20+ MB from Apple using your iPhone you will be told, by Apple, that you must be connected via wifi. Any method that circumvents this direct connection of iPhone to app store over 3G circumvents the "limitation." The limitation is intentionally imposed and could be intentionally iliminated, but with what consequences.
