Apple is being sued over a new iPhone
feature I'm Bridget Carey this is your
scene at update Apple faces a five
million dollar lawsuit over a new
feature called Wi-Fi assist it all boils
down to data charges you see with Wi-Fi
assist the iPhone automatically switches
to use a cellular data connection
whenever there's a weak Wi-Fi signal but
the controversy is that this is turned
on by default for anyone that updates to
iOS 9 the lawsuit which was first
reported by Apple Insider argues that
Apple did not give a good enough
explanation of what it did and it should
have alerted users because it could be
easy to accidentally run up your data
bill and go over your monthly limit when
you think you're just using Wi-Fi you
can find this in iPhone settings under
cellular and you scroll all the way down
the page to turn it off the plaintiffs
are suing Apple over false advertising
and negligent misrepresentation and in
other Apple drama it seems we have an
early look at the Android version of the
Apple music app with leaked screenshots
published by the German site mobile
geeks Apple has said it's working on an
Android version to come out in the fall
so that in itself wasn't a secret
it appears the design is similar to the
iPhone version meanwhile Apple also
began selling the new Apple TV streaming
box through its online store it starts
at one hundred and fifty dollars but the
older model can still be purchased for
$70 and over at Microsoft you can now

company's retail locations along with
the surface machines there are also

demo
walls are covered in 30-foot long video
screens and there's also a lecture area

questions regardless of what device you
