iphone 14 data usage I have been contemplating a phone upgrade to the iPhone 14 pro or Pro Max, however I have heard from a couple people that when they upgraded to the 14 or above their data usage spiked dramatically with little to no actual usage - settings were the same as what they had on their previous phones. Has anyone else experienced this ? Is this something Apple is addressing. I don't want to somehow need 700 GB of data to get me thru the day.

iOS 18 system uses up my mobile data! I see someone is having this issue, but for some reason the thread is locked and I can’t reply there. So, I alwaya have everything that would use large amounts of data turned OFF in settings (Automatic updates OFF, Only download OFF), yet last month my iPhone 12 left me with NO mobile data in a most critic situation. It turned out that automatic updates were turned ON (100% guaranteed it wasn’t or anyone else), and the iPhone downloaded the latest update using mobile data. After having turned everything OFF again and reset the usage statistics, there are 500 MB of used mobile data in 5 days by System > General I can’t even tap and see exactly what those 500 MB were used by. This is simply outrageous! Why does iOS with literally ALL user settings related to mobile usage turned OFF still use 500 MB of mobile data in 5 days?! I have 4GB/month, so at this rate, the system would use up 3 GB/month! What have you done, Apple?!

I might wonder whether this was a bug in the older version.

Anyway, send feedback to Apple: Product Feedback - Apple

Delete the download. Settings > General > {iPad or iPhone} Storage > Find the download, and remove it.
