The Wi-Fi feature Assists first present in iOS 9. This feature was created to help users of iOS switching from Wi-Fi networks to mobile networks if the WiFi signal is too weak. But in the system work WiFi networks is selected as the default network by Apple. In other words, once the mobile phone is in range of a WiFi handset, will directly use the WiFi networks without the knowledge of the user.
With ignorance of users if they are using the WiFi network, then the user could not be aware if their data is being used via a WiFi network. Related this, Apple directly earn a lawsuit over $ 5 million from William Scott Phillips and Suzanne Schmidt Phillips filed on Friday in United States District Court in San Jose, as reported by Apple Insider, Friday (27/10/2015). In the lawsuit that Apple was late delivering a written description of the Wi-Fi feature assists, or in other words, Apple is not at all clear to the user, it was not until October 14, or a month after iOS 9 was launched.
As we know that Apple recently open documents containing support how Wi-Fi Assists help using the data cell. In that document it is written that most users will see only a small increase in the use of the data. It thus considered plaintiffs if Apple too "underestimate" the amount of data the user through Wi-Fi assists.
