Oh, by the way... the iOS App Store downloads everything TWICE.
Somehow suddenly, 50GB for Bonus Time doesn't sound like it will last a month with four (4) iOS devices, and the same apps downloading up to 8 times.
Um...what?? Why does it do that? Is it a glitch, or does the bloody thing want to make sure it downloaded right, so it does it again, for good measure?

No idea. It's very bizarre. The little download circle goes around once, then it goes around again.
Nobody is happy about this, or this new change. It's bonkers.
Well, pitchforks and rope time, then, and let's head for Apple HQ.
I may have been premature about it downloading twice. The download circle goes around twice, but there's a pattern where the first time around it fairly quick, and I think the second time seems like is the bulk of it. Combined, the size of the download doesn't come close to what's listed, which is probably the delta file between the installed version and the downloaded version.
