I just read an article by Kim Komando which says that the 5c "doesn't automatically prioritize Wi-Fi over other connections. You will need to set this manually." Unfortunately there are no instructions for doing this. Anyone know where that setting is made? I'd like to make sure that it's set correctly on my wife's 5c.
 
There's no setting to manage prioritizing. If you want to be sure you're using wifi, turn off Cellular Data in Settings.

Since AFAIK, all 5 series phones use the same radio, this behavior would not be unique to the 5c.

Pretty much what I had been thinking, but Kim is supposed to be a tech guru. I guess you can't believe all that you read.
