html - Limit of localstorage on iPhone?

Question

I'm wondering what's the limit of localstorage HTML 5 on iPhone? I read that it was like 5 Mb, but I'm surprised is so little. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Mobile Safari on the iPhone and iPad will hold 5MB before throwing a QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR when using localStorage. If you're using HTML5 SQL, the user will be prompted at 5MB intervals to increase the storage limit.

Desktop Safari v4 does not have a limit, afaik, on localStorage. However, Safari v5 limits the site to 5MB before throwing a QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR, exhibiting the same behavior as the mobile version.
