Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

If I want to download a 800 mb update over mobile data, I can.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

Now I have a new perspective regarding updates. I used to be like you. I would read about the fixes, features, patches that updates bring. And I would wait impatiently for them. And when I would read that others on competing carriers received the updates and I didn't it would bother me. I don't pay attention to them anymore. So, when I get them its a total surprise. I like this way better because I don't even know if I got it later or sooner. I get it when I get it. I'm much happier this way.

Absolutely. And to add to that, once I get it I'll wait even longer to see what, if any, problems people who jumped in it early are encountering. Being the first to get an update isn't necessarily a good thing all the time

Does it let you download an app over 100 MB on cellular?

No it didn't. Tried again. Thought it said cancel or continue. Says connect to WiFi to download and so on. Again all depends on the user. I couldn't care less to download on cellular. Not a drawback for me at all but other people yes.

The point is that Apple is sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. No one really wants Apple or Android controlling the data they pay for. Shouldn't matter to Apple if my plan is 1 gb a month and I go over or if it is unlimited. I'm an adult and I can make the decision to go over or know if I have enough data.

That is the attitude of Apple that many Android users hate.. Apple makes all the decisions, even ones that aren't their business.

Yeah I was about to say... They always restrict it.

It's not a major major deal but it bothers me. Why do they feel the need to police my data plan?

This is EXACTLY how I feel. I do like Apple and iOS, but this stuff makes no sense.

For those who have access to WiFi I can see this being a non-issue I can't imagine the inconvenience it would be if you didn't have Wifi. What do you do? That would be horrible.

I have access to WiFi, but my mobile speeds are much faster. I prefer updating over mobile.

I'm in the same boat. And I have unlimited data so I try to use my cellular network as much as possible.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

Yeah I guess I understand what people are saying. I guess it's odd that Apple does it when you can stream all the music from Apple Music over cellular anyways. My home network gets same Speeds of basically LTE here which is hovering around the 95MB/sec. Not a deal breaker for me as I hardly ever need to download an app that large. But i do understand what you guys are saying.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

Oh that would be a deal breaker for me. While traveling or away from home, I would be stuck with free and probably slow, WiFi spots.

What about system updates?

You have to do those over wifi, too, don't you?

I do my Note 5 updates over mobile, but I have TMO. With AT&T it always required wifi.

Yeah Apple system updates are WiFi only (regardless of size).

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

Oh.. Apple updates.. Same with AT&T updates for Android, last time I got one.

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

I don't remember with T-Mobile. I will have to wait and see.

Looks like unlimited, free streaming die Netflix and HBO's online site is also going to be free, just like free music streaming.
