kudos:1 | Seems to be on the 4S also I have noticed my 4S using phantom data over wifi when connected to my mobile hot spot also. It did not do this before iOS 6. |

| I can pretty much confirm this. The 4s on our data plan with VZW seems to be eating data even when it is on Wi-Fi from time to time. Or, it is disconnecting from Wi-Fi when it doesn't need or have to. The Wi-Fi radio doesn't use much power when it's idle, so I don't see a need to have to shut it off. |

The feature that is supposed to offload the net traffic to Cellular if Wi-Fi quality is poor? To be honest, the Wi-Fi the iPhone here uses is of significantly better quality than the 3G quality in the area. Even if the latency on the Wi-Fi is 300ms because of us destroying the connection, it beats 200kbps at 120ms ping on the 3G since the iPhone will be able to get at least 1Mbps. Most of the time when I suspect the iPhone is racking up data, it could be getting 4.7Mbps.
I know in the Dev Builds Apple had an option to enable or disable that. They took it out before it went officially live. I wonder why. |
