>137 MB shouldn't be that big a deal on a normal 4G connection.

"I can download a 137MB file when I want over a 4G connection when I want" does not equal "The entire 4G network can handle the high coincident demand of all iPhone users downloading 137MBs simultaneously"

That would be absolute madness. Can you imaging Apple pushing a 137MB file to all active iOS devices over cellular? I'm sure the carriers would appreciate :)

How is it any different to an update to a large and popular app on Android... Facebook for instance?

I highly doubt the engineers at Apple wouldn't think of that and work around it.

You mean like only allowing the update over wifi? ;)

[BoorishBears]

The thread is about if they allowed updates over 4G, so not a solution.

That was a joke about how only allowing it over wifi is the workaround (to prevent saturating the network) you mentioned...
