It gives you the potential to switch but it isn't explained in the article how iOS7 uses this potential.
Does it automatically kill the cellular data connection and only use the Wifi if wifi is available? Or does it keep both open and use them both?
- stingraycharles 13y agoAs far as I understand, it uses the least congested path available. In theory, this would mean it would prefer the wifi connection.
- rurounijones 13y agoAh, that is my misunderstanding. I thought it was some sort of "split traffic between each path". But I guess for it to work it would still need to check the cellular connection every now and then. I wonder how much traffic that would generate? (hopefully a negligable amount.)
