I chose a delivery of 5/1, then got a notification on the door today that I wasn't here for delivery. So it came a day early, but never got any email notification in any inbox of any email account. I was in the back yard. Go figure...

Connected mine to the WiFi at home and then found that the cellular network had activated for a bunch of personal apps. Did I miss something about the “WiFi Assist” function? Is it legit for us to turn this off to force it onto the WiFi? I don’t remember anything about that from the training.
I already went in and disabled cellular data for everything but the necessities.

I hope no one thinks its a permanent always on XPDR that can't ever be shut off because mine will be shut off/RFID cased a lot at home and layovers.

WiFi assist in IPad/GPS terms is the ability for the IPad to feed its approx location to the GPS to facilitate quick GPS lockup’s from boot up. It bases that approx position on known WiFi sites. If the GPS knows where to look it can lock on much faster.
There is a second function also called WiFi assist where the IPad will use a combination of WiFi and cellular if the WiFi connection is poor.
Wi-Fi Assist enables the device to automatically switch to cellular data when Wi-Fi coverage is poor and switch back to Wi-Fi when the Wi-Fi signal improves. Wi-Fi Assist is compatible with any iOS device on iOS 9 or later, except for these models: iPad 2 Wi-Fi+Cellular, iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi+Cellular, and iPad mini ...
I see no reason you can’t turn it off.
