It's still one of the most annoying things about having an iPhone.

You're in the middle of watching a hilarious cat gif or an even funnier one of a panda sneezing, when your phone freezes. The Wi-Fi connection has dropped to one bar which, in other words, means you ain't getting jack sh*t from the router. 200-32 Annoyingly you have to walk all the way to the router and give it a bash or else turn the Wi-Fi off manually on your phone. Is there a more annoying #FirstWorldProblem? But now Apple have created handy little feature on iOS9 which automatically switches from your Wi-Fi to your mobile data if your connection is poor. img_0086 According to 9to5mac, a new cellular setting called Wi-Fi Assist allows the phone to automatically switch to a cellular data connection when you have a bad connection. Great news for those of you who don't have time to be waiting on slow Wi-Fi - although there's no official release date for iOS9 yet.
