As a result, developers often must sacrifice graphics quality and effects for iOS titles, the exact problem we pointed out with the recent BioShock (http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/04/bioshock-ios/)iOS release. But Apple has finally lifted that limit, and the max file size on iTunes titles is now 4GB, according to its developer site (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=02122015a). That should result in better games, with a caveat. If you decided that $949 was a tad too much to pay on the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/06/apple-sim-free-iphone6/) and went for much cheaper 16GB iPhone 6 instead, you may not have enough space for the latest, largest titles.
