Chinese television accuses Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), by the fact that its terminals iPhone they make unsolicited data traffic when they are blocked, but probably few people were aware of this considering the numerous articles and TV reports that presented this aspect.
Chinese television ran a report in which it checked the data traffic made by a series of smartphones that were left locked for 120 hours to see which of them generate unsolicited data traffic, the operator's website China Mobile mobile phone being used for traffic counting.
iPhones, Nokia and Android smartphones were used for the test, and of all, only the product from Apple generated 80 MB of traffic during this period, the Nokia and Sony terminals generating only 4 MB of traffic, 20 times less than the Apple terminal.
The report comes against the background of a major problem regarding the cost of internet subscriptions in China, and this 80 MB traffic would cost about $10 if it were paid as additional traffic outside the subscription, the cost being a very high one for any country.
And in these 10 handsets, the "sneak" the most traffic is Apple phone, a total of 120 hours, "Unleashed," the 80MB (megabytes) traffic. According to China Mobile 110MB traffic per refueling package price of 15 yuan fee calculation, consumers every five days was "stolen" out of the flow, the value of 10.9 yuan, consumers should be for the month, "sneaking" extra traffic to pay 60 yuan.
Basically, Apple's iPhone would generate unwanted costs for users who leave their device connected to the Internet overnight and do not have enough traffic in their subscription, but this "problem" is not really that new and some of you probably know it.
iOS has many functions that allow updating applications or even the operating system when the terminals are not in use, some of them even working through mobile data networks, so you have to be careful when you leave the Internet active overnight.
