Why is it so impossible for you to imagine that, just because you don't like a feature, it might not be "dumb"? Can you not see beyond yourself for long enough to consider that other people may have different preferences than you?

Because the world revolves around him.

I really hope the world never revolves around me. I don't want the responsibility.

But when they did buy the phone the function was different, no?

It's not like they (we) are complaining about this before buying the actual product.
Which, in this case, I agree with you, it's foolish.

I can’t download any apps because my credit card is not active at the moment they stole all my personal belongings so at the moment I don’t have a credit card so I need help remove it from my account please so I could download so apps i need ..

You are absolutely right! Like with most things, We the People have and must be willing to wield our power. That power is that of consumers. A swift and clear message to those that think we “need” these functions because we are “too stupid or lazy” to turn on or off automatically, will wake up if the product are no longer purchased. I too love my iPhone/Pad etc., but losing control of these “smart machines” is an effing no-go in my book.

*** Do you think I want to go into Settings when I'm driving away from home and I have to turn off WiFi so it doesn't keep trying to connect to every WiFi it finds in route to work?!

Apple, it is super annoying to have to constantly turn off my WiFi or Bluetooth. If I wanted it on, I’d turn it on myself. I don’t use any of the features where they might be “handy”, and I feel like my phone is at risk because of these “helpful” features you forced on everyone.

What do you mean you cannot go into settings to solve what? There's nothing to solve. You either turn it off in settings, or you turn it on in settings.

Well, already did and reset and erased the whole phone and keeps happening. This means that is a software problem that this keeps happening. Router was reset and bought a new one, phone keeps resetting by itself and locking WiFi. So yes, I already went to settings.

I am also one of many friends having the same problem and on the verge of changing cell phone and service to Verizon.

Thought I was going crazy. My WiFi keeps turning its self on or my cell doesn’t have enough strength when I try to look up or open a site. Example: Walgreens, Walmart and Amazon. For these I must have WiFi on or I cannot open to check on meds or an ordered item. When I am done with WiFi I turn it off and weather I plug in to charge or not WiFi coms back on.

My friends and I are about to do as my grown son and his wife did and get rid of all Apple products. I love my iPhone and have been upgrading my cell, about to get either the 8 or X, haven’t decided yet however Apple will be deciding for me and making me change all and any products I have even relating to Apple

Please don’t make me give up on Apple

I know you are so huge that one customer may not count but consider word of mouth.

Thanks, Sharon of califo

Just to be clear, when you are in Walgreens, Walmart or in Amazon you turn on WiFi, do your business, then go to Settings > WiFi > and turn it off? And it comes back on by itself?

Do you use your iPhone as a hotspot? And why are you turning WiFi off anyway?

I do hope your grown son and his wife are putting software on their android phones to protect themselves. 99% of malware/spyware is found on android devices. Or maybe they just don't care about security.

I can't stand it anymore, this phone is connecting to every wifi in town and My apps do notwork right because they tell me there is no internet. I'm so upset with post Steve Jobs Apple, they simply cannot develop software that works anymore. If I turn off wifi for good I'm constantly harrassed by notifications while driving using google maps if I gray it out then while driving it becomes blue again with no real internet connection and google maps loses internet....If apple doesn't fix this soon I have to go buy ab android phone so I can have data working again. Worse Iphone experience ever and I statrted with the first Iphone.

It's working fine for me, I turn it off, it stays off until I turn it on again. If I disconnect it from the current network it automatically connects to the next available network. This is exactly how I expect and want it to behave.
