AT&T iPhone 6 / 5 Excessive Data Usage Hits Apple with New Lawsuit

The iPhone excess data usage has become a big issue for Verizon and AT&T subscribers. The bug surfaced several years ago. At first, users who were running iOS 6 and iOS 7 complained that their smartphone used too much data on Verizon network. Apple fixed Verizon bug in 2012. Still the issue occurs nowadays on iOS 8 and iOS 9.

The famous Cupertino-based giant is already being suit because of the WiFi Assist iOS 9 option because a lot of users notice how fast this feature gobbles GBs of their data. Customers were unaware of the iPhone 6 excessive data usage as well as earlier phone models when they learned about this feature and started to use it.

For example, AT&T iPhone 5 and AT&T iPhone 5s subscribers experience a very unpleasant bug: iPhone 6 using excessive data because it automatically switches from LTE connection to WiFi network. This is very similar to what Verizon users suffered from years ago and Apple solved the problem through OTA update back then.

For some reasons, AT&T iPhone users had to wait for years until Apple managed to fix this very same issue on iOS 8.1. This was in 2014. Still the iOS 9 update offered this year seems to bring back the old bug to iPhone 5 and 5s models.

How does it happen? The company that filed lawsuit against Apple assures that if you are streaming a video via WiFi on one of these iPhone versions for over 10-20 minutes, your smartphone will start saving the battery life by making A6 / A7 CPU going to sleep. The result is frustrating because this also leads to your handset switching to LTE video streaming and makes you lose your precious GBs of data offered by AT&T.

If you want to fight against iPhone excessive data usage you might want to SIM unlock AT&T iPhone 5 / 5S and choose a different U.S. carrier that doesn’t charge you extra money because of Apple mistakes.
