    Downloads requires WiFi same as iPhones and iPads...

    Not a surprise, but still pathetic.

    Rolling the clock forward on manual works for app downloads (workaround) but for security/OS updates still SOL.

    Setting another idevice as a hotspot (WiFi) no longer is practical.  After trying to do so for the last 300MB update it projected 16+ hours to download, I have up after 30min.

    Apple, don’t propagate your stupidity.  Fix with iOS 13...



    iPhones and iPads don’t require WiFi for downloads. Or are you saying that you have to on the same WiFi network? Either way, it makes no sense.
    I think he was talking about downloading OS updates rather than simple data.
