A few days ago I got a text from my carrier telling me that I used all of my monthly data. I immediately checked and saw that System Services/General had transferred tons of GBs of data.
I started investigating, removing apps, removing access to cellular data to some apps, restarting the iPhone, resetting network settings, but System Services/General was still transferring tons of data, something like 1 GB every 15 minutes.
I brought the iPhone to an Apple Store, they checked it and said everything is fine. They suggested restoring it.
I did a clean restore, not from backup and installed only a few apps. The problem is still here.
I have chatted with Apple Support and I had a Senior Advisor call me and have me do a bunch of nonsense stuff, and the issue is still there. I called them again and now they hung up on me twice.
It's like the iPhone is stuck with transferring tons of data from System Services/General! The iPhone is also always warm and the battery is draining faster than normal. Battery health is 84%.
