Apple Added ‘Download Later’ Option For Large Purchases In iTunes

According to Macworld, Apple has added a new option for iTunes large media purchases made on both the Mac running iTunes 11 or iOS devices running iOS 6 or later. Now when purchasing media content that includes a large download, such as seasons of TV shows or movies, iTunes will allow users to download the purchased file at a later time. Apple outlined the new feature, which presents users with a dialog box to “download “Later” or Download” now, in a knowledge base article.

Clicking the “Later” button will add the purchased media content to your iTunes account and later you can download or stream it via iTunes in the Cloud feature. This means the new option is only available to users in countries, which support iTunes in the Cloud feature for the type of media content they are buying (full list here).
