As [1] points out above, while the largest increase is in the bitcode, it's still a 2.2x increase in the non-bitcode portions of the binary.

And the 2.2x non-bitcode increase seems consistent with adomanico's report of a 2~3x increase of "App Store File Sizes" as reported by iTunes Connect: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13992107
