It seems that at least for iOS 5.0.1, the iPhone seems to be checking the AppStore very frequently, even though it is not initiated by the user. Even though I did not tap on the AppStore, the AppStore seems to know what are the new updates for the Apps in the iPhone once there is a data connection (2G or 3G),
Personally, I prefer if there is a way to disable this as the 2G and 3G signals are not reliable and if the AppStore constantly tries to call back to see if there are any Apps update, the iPhone will use up its resources to scan all the Apps to see if there are any updates. Moreover, using the 2G and 3G signals when the signals are fake (meaning that there's a signal but there's actually no data connection) will drain your battery.
I wonder if Apple will disable this stupid feature. Anyway, I still do not understand why Apple took away the feature to disable 3G. The 3G signals are horrible and I encountered situations where the SMSes came in late and the calls are garbled.
