Where your data goes depends on how you use your iPhone. As cellphones become smarter, the amount of data they take from the Internet grows.
Some apps on our phones, for example, consume a lot of data because they allow us to get instant updates on what our friends are up to no matter where we are or receive weather warnings while out and about.
