Not an iphone but I have a related problem with my android phone. If I switch the wifi settings on, the phone is constantly searching for a wifi network which helps to run the battery down faster. But if I switch the wifi settings off the phone drags all its updates and info from mobile phone reception which uses up my data usage allowance.
So the optimal solution seems to be to switch the phone wifi off when I leave the house (to save battery) and to switch it back on again when I am home (to save mobile phone data costs).
Mobile phones will be great when they're finished.
Don't I get a cookie for posting this?*pout*

Faster and more reliable that mobile phone and you can eat them when you've finished with them ;-)
Elle warned me about this very same thing this morning, so have changed that setting on my new 6s that I got yesterday (is my new shiny!!!)
Geoff - that's helpful thanks. I'll make that change.
It's like every piece of technology, it's all there so long as a) you know what you're looking for and b) you know what it's called. Whenever I look at a modern smartphone I always remember the short story, I can't remember whether it was Heinlein or Asimov, where there was a meeting of the military and one of the big wigs discovered mental arithmetic and the others were astounded and couldn't keep up on their pocket calculators.
I hope I won't live long enough to see that happen, but I have a horrible feeling I will, if I haven't already.
I know the story you mean Geoff, its Asimov. Not sure what its called though.
The Feeling of Power. :)
Thanks for that Rosemary and GL.
