Under those switches is another switch saying "Use Mobile Data" which by default is set to Off.

That has a heading saying "Automatic Downloads" which includes on/off switches for Music, Apps and Books (for those using Apple's iBooks). The setting in question can be found in the "Settings" app of the iPhone, under "Store". ![]() While Apple has made no official comment, sources have indicated that Morris's experience is blamed on a misunderstanding over the wording of the settings in the iPhone.

The flaw cost one user more than £50 when he downloaded a number of apps while in Spain, on roaming data. ![]()
