Bugs in iOS' audiovisual framework are what's causing users to exceed their data plans, reported PRX Labs, the technical arm of the Public Radio Exchange. One bug apparently causes the iOS player app to make multiple requests rapidly and close them out quickly; another causes the phone to behave as if it's connected to WiFi even when it's not. There seems to be a system-wide problem with the AV Foundation framework in iOS 6.0.0 that results in significantly higher data costs to iPhone users and Internet distributors, PRX Labs concludes.
