New iPhone Owner: Why My Mobile Internet Data Plan Run Out So Fast?
You just recently acquire a new iPhone, while you think you just use the iPhone internet data plan on average basis only and mostly connected and used WiFi to surf, browse, upload or download, but when the phone bill come, you might get surprised on how much they charge you for the internet data plan.
WiFi Assist
Before arguing or even blaming certain parties, you need to know that since the release of iOS 9 (and iOS after it), Apple has WiFi Assist feature enabled by default on your iPhone.
What is this WiFi Assist?
The main reason Apple made WiFi Assist on your iPhone is to help you keep connected to the internet so your internet (browsing/surfing/downloading/uploading) experience will still be okay even though you get weak WiFi signal, slow WiFi connection, small WiFi bandwidth and all these things related to WiFi. And that’s why Apple has the settings enabled by default.
