The WiFi Assist feature automatically switches to cellular data when Wi-Fi is weak, leading to faster battery depletion and increased data usage.
Users are advised to turn off WiFi Assist in the mobile service settings to extend battery life and avoid unexpected data consumption, though this may result in slower internet during poor Wi-Fi connections.
Apple notes the feature is intended for convenience, but experts also recommend charging iPhones to less than 100 percent to slow battery degradation.
