Thanks for your stubborn support and yes I have read everything from Apple and obviously I do care, I assume you do also since your here trying to convince people its a good thing because you dont see the issues in it and pointing out Apple's explanation, ot isnt good enough and raises more questions about security. Let me share with you what this causes for everyone and why I am very concerned like many others with what it means to the millions of people who are unaware of this change. "Not everyone knows that you have to turn off wifi and bluetooth in settings to completely turn it off". If so many people are on countless forums asking this question (Why does my wifi and bluetooth keep turning on?) How many people do you think are not even aware of this because Apple failed to inform users of the possible security issues it can causes when out in public? My apologies if my wording confused you by saying DRAIN but wifi being on does.use.battery.power.to.function. Im not going to repeat it because I believe you are smart enough to read it again if you missed something. Im sorry, you have probably been misinformed or dont have any common since. Unfortunately I cant help you with the latter but I recommend you read information on how to preserve battery life that was created by Apple and the engineers. If you believe they are wrong you need to let them know what your theorys are and what led you to your conclusions.>> Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://apple.com/feedback Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://apple.com/feedback Im not about to get in a debate with you about wifi radiation.... AS STATED BY APPLE: Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi consumes power, e ven if you are not using it to connect to a network. You can turn it off in the Wi-Fi status menu in the menu bar or in Network preferences. Background app refresh, push notifications, if apps are fetching information in the background and depending on the intervals battery usage will be used more. -Wifi does consume less power compared to you cell network. -When WiFi is connected it uses 30 mw continuously. When wifi is on and you are out of your network it will constantly search, this doesnt consume alot but it is constanly sipping battery and neccessary if not even needed.This is a DRAIN on the battery and creates a situation where the phone or tablet is constantly "switching back and forth" among cellular, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. A recent analysis of 50,000 mobile devices by online security gateway provider Wandera revealed the battery decay rate of iOS 11-enabled devices has been significantly higher compared to iOS 10 devices out of the gate.

Apple has taken a convenient feature and changed it leaving millions of people in the dark. Apple's new support document explains that while an iOS device will immediately disconnect from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth accessories using the on-off toggle swipe, both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will continue to be available, "so you can use these important features." SECURITY When a phone is designed to behave in a way other than what the UI suggests, it results in both security and privacy problems. A user has no visual or textual clues to understand the device's behavior, which can result in a loss of trust in operating system designers to faithfully communicate what's going on. Because mobile users rely on the operating system as the bedrock for most security and privacy decisions, no matter what app or connected device they may be using, this trust is fundamental. In an attempt to keep you connected to Apple devices and services, iOS 11 compromises users' security. Such a loophole in connectivity can potentially leave users open to new attacks. Closing this loophole would not be a hard fix for Apple to make. AT A BARE MINIMUM, Apple should make the Control Center toggles last until the user flips them back on, rather than overriding the user's choice early the next morning. Apple's choice to passively enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth behind the scenes is unusual for a company that prides itself on offering transparent and predictable device behaviors.It's kind of a counter to Apple's DNA While the new settings don't open up new security risks, what they do is expose users to known Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity issues. For example, a Bluetooth-enabled device is almost always listening for unicast traffic targeted to it, even when it is not set on "discoverable mode, for this reason, to establish a connection, the initiating party only needs to know the [Bluetooth device address, MAC address] of the target device. Once an attacker acquires it, and is in physical proximity of the device (RF range) he or she can reach the surprisingly wide attack surface of its listening Bluetooth services. Users will likely learn more about the new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity settings in iOS 11 – and users who care enough about them will no longer inadvertently leave them on. You can't have a device that most people don't understand what's happening on it. The changes Apple made to wireless functions in iOS 11 were intentional in order to capture data and ensure mobile connectivity to an ever-growing universe of Apple applications. While having Wi-Fi and Bluetooth continuously on is a convenience at home or in the office because they can seamlessly connect to common apps, when at a coffee shop, retail store or on an airplane, the feature leaves a mobile user open. I've been on planes with iOS 11 and you can see everybody. There's a lot of different tools...that at the very least can pick up sign-in or log-in information. Whenever you have something you're not aware of on a device that is automatically connecting you to something, it's not a good thing. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3230299/apple-ios/in-ios-11-toggling-wi-fi -and-bluetooth-off-doesnt-work-heres-why.html
