Wifi connectivity, conspiracy?

I have been experiencing connectivity issues with my iPhone for quite some time now. My phone will sustain the connection for a period of time, only to later drop the connection. In my opinion, I think this is some kind of conspiracy to charge people data usage while they are unaware of their disconnected wifi, or to charge people data as they are in the middle of streaming something.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.2

First off how do you figure Apple makes a device that charges you extra data... seeing as how it would be your carrier getting paid? Apple has already been paid when you bought the device.

Conspiracy theory shot down.


Now there are several things you can do .. assuming you are on 6.0.2 as your post indicated.

Reset network settings

reset all settings

restore through itunes (as new not from a backup)

If it still has an issue you might have a hardware issue

Because when you are not connected to wifi, in order to keep streaming it uses your 3G. If you don't have unlimited data then you have to pay for the data being used. Meaning if there is a limit to your data and you go over, then that is more money you must pay. Also, there have been other reports of wifi issues amongst several thousand people. I highly doubt this is a coincidece
