Many
iPhone X users are facing issue that the iPhone X is consuming too much cellular data.
For some users reported that the phone is taking 3GB data in just 2 hours of
data. Many customers reported this issue to Apple, but the customer care seems
to be completely unaware of the issue. Most of the usage comes from System
Services under the "Apple ID Services" heading. It was hundreds of MB
a day while still connected to WiFi.

makes many iPhone X users regret their $1000 purchase. The users even tried to
contact to service provider like AT&T and Verizon wireless to debug the
issue but no updates are found.
One
user reported the issue of reddit as quoted “Ever since, the data usage has
been insane on this phone, to the point where I have contacted Apple and they
have told me to turn my data usage off… Apple has given me no answers, other
than the fact that the iPhone X has enhancements that might use cellular data
regardless of a wifi connection.”
