A California couple is suing Apple<\/a> for $5 million in damages relating to Wi-Fi Assist. The suit alleges that after upgrading to iOS 9 on their iPhone<\/a> 5S, the couple saw overage charges because they had unknowingly breached their data limits. Because of the number of people (in theory, most every iOS 9 user) affected, the suit reckons potential damages are in excess of $5 million.
\n
\nThe lawsuit itself can probably be filed alongside McDonald's coffee in the Hall of Frivolous Fame, but it does highlight that Apple faces a real problem with Wi-Fi Assist and cell data caps. After iOS 9 came out, a whole legion of articles were penned pointing out that the update was causing an increase in data usage.
\n
\nEven a former Apple employee who worked on OS X Wi-Fi products has written an article, agreeing that it seems to be a problem, and highlighting Apple's corporate policy as the culprit.

\nAs a reminder: If you want to disable the 'feature', go to Settings->Cellular->scroll down to Wi-Fi Assist, and turn it off.
