I could turn off cellular data in general (and I did once or twice, but that&rsquo;s a hard thing to remember every time you leave the house), but by the end of the billing period, AT&amp;T had hit me with $30 of overage charges for two $15 blocks of 1 GB of additional data.<\/p>\n<p>This is shockingly poor design on Apple&rsquo;s part, and I hope to see it fixed in iOS 9. The entire point of iCloud Photo Library is to transfer huge quantities of image data, and it&rsquo;s disrespectful for Apple not to provide a switch to prevent iCloud Photo Library from chewing through cellular data.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/library\/prerelease\/mac\/releasenotes\/General\/rn-osx-10.11\/index.html#\/\/apple_ref\/doc\/uid\/TP40016209-CH1-DontLinkElementID_4\">issues<\/a> with Aperture and Mac OS X 10.11:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/library\/prerelease\/mac\/releasenotes\/General\/rn-osx-10.11\/index.html#\/\/apple_ref\/doc\/uid\/TP40016209-CH1-DontLinkElementID_4\"><ul><li><p>Importing RAW files may cause the app to quit unexpectedly.<\/p><\/li><li><p>The Aperture workspace may disappear occasionally.
