I find this very interesting because I had this issue once! when I was using an iPhone 5, I updated to iOS 7 and I had let a tv show download from iTunes over wifi, I locked my phone, next thing I know I've gone over my data plan by a couple of hundred MB and have to pay for it!
Fan of Apple, not a fan of their software (mainly) and hardware issues lately... ugh

what a strange bug... as usually i bet those affected never even thought to restoring their phone...or did that?
I have to say false here for the law firm..
Why would a company focused on security NOT issue a fix in a given time frame ?
Now if this was an Android phone.. things would be very different.. but it ain't

Well, how else are us consumers going to get our check for $13.57 when this is settled?
It's a problem in iOS that resulted in the phone switching from WiFi to cellular data under certain circumstances.
Not sure how you expect end users, with no access to iOS source code to fix the issue, to resolve this, other than turning their phone off.
While I find this explanation kind of strange without lower level details, most of the networking is actually handled on a separate layer called the baseband. It contains its own CPU and memory, runs its own software.
I think he is saying that since Samsung owes Apple some money, Samsung should just use that money to pay this lawsuit instead of having the money pass through Apple. He didn't say anything about Samsung being behind this issue. And I am sure he was attempting humor.
Just stand pat. If there is even a minuscule chance you're in the class they will find you, and you will receive a postcard in the mail, outlining what you have to do to remove yourself from the class. If you do nothing and the case eventually settles you will be able to claim your $5 gift card, while the named plaintiff and their lawyers will reap a payday in the millions. Woo-Hoo! Meruca!
haha I used my iphone 5 with 1gig data plan for 2 whole years, Now even 8 gig barely enough for my 6+
Maybe slightly off topic, but I have a gripe with the delay in AT&T reporting data usage. I've definitely experienced the issue where data would look like it was being used at 3-4-5AM when I was asleep. This is probably due to AT&T's server's synchronizing and the data usage is dated when the usage is posted to your account.
In other words, if you have a 200MB of data plan, you can use gigabytes of data before AT&T will even contact you about overages.

I don't think this is one of those "oh, I spilled the Mcdonalds coffee I bought that was served in a cup that says "hot" so I'm going to sue for skin damages"
I guess I am missing something. If the problem is due to the CPU going to sleep and the phone switching from wifi to LTE, then why is ATT or Verizon even involved. The fact that Verizon required to update their settings tells me its a bit complicated and not all on Apple.
Having said that, I had a 5s, my wife a 5c, and my daughter still has a 5s. We never ever had a problem. However, we also were not streaming movies non stop, which this article seems to indicate is part of the problem.
