2. The main reasons for Apple’s mobile phone data charges
1.System service consumption: The iOS system turns on many background services by default, including iCloud synchronization, Find My iPhone, Siri Suggestions, etc. These functions will continue to consume data.
2.Automatic application updates: The App Store turns on the automatic update function by default, and the app will download update packages in the background even when the phone is not in use.
3.Wi-Fi accessibility: When the Wi-Fi signal is weak, the system will automatically switch to cellular data, causing users to consume data without knowing it.
4.Background app refresh: iOS allows applications to refresh content in the background, and social applications (such as WeChat and Weibo) will frequently update information.
| Data consumption function | Proportion | solution |
|---|---|---|
| System services | 35% | Turn off unnecessary system functions |
| Automatic application updates | 25% | Update manually instead |
| Wi-Fi Assist | 20% | Turn off in settings |
| Background refresh | 15% | Limit non-essential apps |
| other | 5% | - |
3. Comparison of user measured data
According to the comparative test (released on November 15, 2023) by the UP owner of Bilibili "Technology Tester", under the same usage scenario:

5. Expert advice
Digital blogger @LeoGo pointed out in a live broadcast on November 18: "The traffic management strategy of Apple mobile phones focuses more on user experience rather than saving data. It is recommended that users personalize settings according to usage habits. The newly added 'real-time traffic monitoring' function of iOS 17 is worth paying attention to, and it can be accurate to the real-time traffic consumption of each application."
Network security expert Wang Min reminded: "Some traffic anomalies may be caused by malware. It is recommended to regularly check suspicious description files in device management and avoid installing unofficial channel applications."
From the above analysis and data, it can be seen that the charge traffic of Apple mobile phones is mainly caused by the system design and default settings. Through reasonable configuration, traffic consumption can be significantly reduced. It is recommended that users adjust settings according to their own needs and check traffic usage details regularly.
