I'm done with Apple whenever the current phone dies (or slows apparently). Too much Nanny state "we know what's best" without informing the customer, or in other cases denying us an option to choose.

Thanks so much Apple for protecting me by forcing me to a public wifi. :R
My next phone I'm going back to Android.
