Apple for the extra costs incurred by the users of iOS wifi Assistance 9 points elEconomista.es faces a class action lawsuit in the United States. This feature, which is enabled by default in the new operating system, makes phones and tablets of the company automatically activate the data connection of the device to access the Internet when the wireless connection is very weak. This increases consumption data terminals and can cause an unexpected increase in the bill you have to pay the user.
The plaintiffs, William Scott Phillips and Suzanne Phillips Schmidt, consider that the Cupertino have not reported their wifi Assistance and accuse of operation explained on the official website Only after the first cases known by the press. The complaint says that Apple, however, has downplayed the possible cost which this service can bring users. As in other cases, it is requesting the company compensation of more than $ 5 million (4,430,000 million).
Apple has not yet ruled on the matter, but has released an update that disables support for WiFi devices and allows the user to decide whether to use the data connection or WiFi.
