With the passage of time and the development of technology, some prices become cheaper and some Services are expanded. Something that forces both users and manufacturers to continue growing and changing, trying to adapt to the times and needs. This is what Apple did, who just significantly expanded the capacity limit for developers who create applications on your operating system iOSSomething that can enhance the quality and content of applications and games, but kill the storage capacity of iPhone and iPad
In such a way, as reported in the media TechCrunch, Apple now offers up to 4 GB of space for applications in its App Store Exactly double what has been offered since the year 2008, in its beginnings. And it is the first time that extends the limit of what an application or tool can weigh. A bit exaggerated considering the current data rates as well as the storage space of Apple devices , although it looks to the future given the reduction in the costs of Internet storage systems and increasingly wider bands.
Now, what does this mean for the user? From an application point of view, taking up 4 GB means lots of space for content Good be information based on iimages and videos that can now have more quality by having a greater margin of space, or tools to make them more complete Although, you must have Keep in mind that it is a very large size for the basic tools that are usually used in the smartphone such as the social networks, WhatsApp , email utilities or weather applications, etc, which at the moment only occupy a few MB However, it is a qualitative leap for the games And it is that the developers of these will now be less tied to introduce quality videos, textures and high resolution images of all items on screen or higher quality soundsIssues that could significantly improve the appearance and experience of this entertainment content.
Of course, it can be a real ordeal for users with a low-capacity iPhone. And it is that, in terminals of 12 GB, around 4 GB are occupied by the iOS operating system Which leaves applications and other user content a little less than 8 GB of free space Something that would force you to choose wisely which applications to download and take advantage of all the services and storage tools available outside the terminal. Of course, not all applications are expected to take advantage of this new space of 4 GB to the full.
In short, a step towards the future by Apple to allow developers to create more complete and higher quality content.Something that will surely be reflected in the game genre Of course, the download limitation due to data is still present, so apps and games larger than 100 MB will force the user to be connected to a networkWifi
