Misleading At Best

Quality article title at pocket-lint.com:

Revealed: The Apple iPhone flaw that could cost you thousands

One of their worst case scenarios related to this "dramatic problem"?

T-Mobile would charge £150 for downloading 20Mb if you were in the US at the time, for example

That seems like significantly less than the thousands we're being warned about. Granted, if this issue actually existed, those charges could add up quickly. However, if you read through the first update to the article you'll learn that there is no flaw. In fact, the setting seems to work exactly as intended. Despite that, they call out three "troubling" issues. I'll paraphrase:

  1. If you allow your phone to use cellular data, it will use cellular data when there is no wi-fi.
  2. If you allow your phone to use cellular data AND FORGET, it will use cellular data when there is no wi-fi.
  3. The setting on the automatic downloads page applies only to automatic downloads.

Terrible right?

However, what really gets it for me is the updated article subtitle:

UPDATED: Misleading at best
Did they mean that the setting is "Misleading at worst"? Or are they referring to their own article?
