iOS 6 Beta Adds 'Wi-Fi Plus Cellular' Option to Increase Data Reliability

One of the newest features in the new iOS 6 Beta (Beta 4) is 'Wi-Fi Plus Cellular' option. The setting appears to allow apps to fall back on the iPhone's cellular data connection when having difficulties moving data via the Wi-Fi connection, something that can happen with a weak Wi-Fi signal or a temperamental internet connection.

There are also individual On/Off switches to use cellular data for iCloud Documents, iTunes, FaceTime, Passbook Updates and Reading List. It looks like it is a submenu setting for the Wi-FI Plus Cellular control, which allows specific tasks such as downloading music from iTunes or syncing iCloud Documents to require the use of Wi-Fi. The settings could always change to be made more clear or they could be removed entirely. Remember that this is only restricted to 'developers', so anything could happen.
