That’s a nice passive-aggressive ad hominem attack technique you’ve got going, there.
Why not explain why stopping using WiFi versus switching it off is such a big issue instead? I genuinely don’t see any significant difference.
Because it's always worked clearly and obviously how every rational person would expect it to - on/off. You have control. Now Apple's made it function awkwardly with no obvious indicator, that's just needlessly confusing. A few people have said to me that their "bluetooth keeps turning on", they don't read forums and are obviously confused and frustrated by it, that's poor design since the iPhone has always been something people should just be able to use without instruction. I suggested how it could be improved with an indicator and a long/short press: "Wifi temporarily disabled"/"Wifi turned off".
You say my comment was passive-aggressive yet it was just a suggestion that the functionality was not obvious and could be improved, since there are plenty of comments about it it would seem I'm not alone. Apple is a company, you can't really be passive-aggressive about a company's software since that's more to do with feelings, it seems as though you're taking it personally? You come across as someone who can't stand hearing even mild criticism of Apple and has to defend them, not everything they do has to be perfect and people don't always have to praise their every decision.
Since you want an example - my work Wi-Fi is patchy and not too fast (ADSL2, 11mb on a good day but with 10 people using it), it's a large warehouse/office and coverage doesn't reach everywhere. I often turn off Wi-Fi at work because when it has a particularly slow day or when I'm on the edge of range/behind the wrong wall the phone takes forever trying to connect (and drains battery in doing so), my 4G is far more efficient. at least a couple of times already I've been trying to use my phone internet to send emails and found that it's jumped back on WiFi and is hanging, both irritating and battery draining.
It was a change no-one was asking for, it wasn't broken. It's a reasonable idea but poorly implemented as there is no indicator as to what it's doing or for how long it's turning off. Now I have to fiddle around in menu's to actually turn wifi or Bluetooth off rather than using a shortcut or having an option to set the functionality of the shortcut to my preference (they could even have a length timer in the settings menu since they've done this), it's a step backwards.
