IOS – download apps larger than 50MB while using Personal Hotspot

data transferiostethering

Can I download apps larger than 50MB while using Personal Hotspot? If so, isn't the limitation on iOS itself rather arbitrary? I can just use personal hotspot to download larger files to my computer and then sync them back over to my device.

So, is this possible?

2 x Yes :-)

  • Yes, it's possible to download apps (or anything else) larger than 50 MB when using the iPhone as a Personal Hotspot
  • Yes, the limit is arbitrary and probably mainly exists to reduce the load on 3G data networks
