iPhone 5s Owners Using 20% More Cellular Data Than Last Year's iPhone 5 Owners

Nobody is forcing you to do business with them if you don't like their business strategies, and just because you won't doesn't mean it's ok for you to steal their IP.

Simple. I want to watch a movie. Either it's unavailable, very badly dubbed (yes, I confess I do watch dubbed movies), or I simply want to have the original one with foreign language subtitles. Or I want to plug it in the uni's projector and still retain full, 1080p quality. Or the movie is simply unavailable through ordinary channels.

No store can provide me that, even less iTunes store. So torrenting I go.

What I think is interesting is the fact that iOS devices are DOWNLOADING data, and Android phones are UPLOADING data.

I wonder what Google is doing with all that data....

Probably not something you'd like to know. One Big, Black Box to rule them all.

iTunes I buy Game of Thrones every season in 1080p quality. It's cheaper than blu-rays. Blu-rays are compressed 1080p usually. The quality is great, but not that noticeably different from an HD iTunes movie that you can rent for $4. I also have Netflix, which is less than $20 to get a blu-ray mailed to you every other day along with 1080p streaming if you have roku/appletv/ps4/xbox. You'll find after a year or two, you will have seen most of everything you would have wanted to see.

A disc every two days? Gosh, they've apparently improved by leaps and bounds! Last time I subscribed to a trial account, I received a DVD every week, and only once the other had been returned. That made it more expensive than going to a rental store.

The study also found that iPhone 5c and iPad mini owners used less data than owners of Apple's more expensive devices -- though no easily-determined causal link can be drawn to those findings.

Really? Because I can think of a few possible explanations worth looking into. Primarily for the 5c. It's a budget version of the iPhone. I'd imagine if you look at the average data plan a 5s owner carries, and then an average data plan that a 5c owner carries, that 5s owner will have a greater data allowance. Additionally, people who expect to use their smartphone a lot (and consequently to use more data) are more likely to drop a bit more money on a higher end model. I'd venture a guess that the latter argument holds water for the iPad mini vs the iPad Air as well.
