Apple claims that the iOS 5 features (iCloud, Siri, iMessages, ect.) do not interefere with how much bandwidth the devices recieve from the cellular provider. I even called both Apple and Verizon (my carrier) about this and they both said that those features won't take up any bandwidth but may increase my data usage. I says B.S. I just ran speed tests on the speedtest.net app with full bars in a heavy coverage area and got .82mbp/s down and .67mbp/s up. I ran it 3 times to be sure and it was pretty consistent. I then turned off all of those features and even put a block on them to be sure they were off in settings > general > restrictions and you know what happened? I got 2.68mbp/s down and 1.57mbp/s up. I again did this 3 times and it, again, remained consistent. HUGE improvement. I even restarted the phone with the features still off and still the same improved results. If anyone else wants to try this on their iPhones and iPads (cellular models) and share your results please do because if this is something that isn't just me I would really like to know and maybe even apple would like to know. Thanks
