Why can I back up my iPhone on iCloud while on mobile data?
Same question for updateing iOs.
Another issue is carriers don’t want you to use mobile data for large transfers even if your in unlimited.
Unlimited in the US isn’t exactly unlimited it’s more like you have unlimited till you hit 20+ GBs then they notify you that you will soon be throttled back
Come on, Apple protects me from myself!? I am not an *****.
In my case wi-fi at home is very slow and I can not back it up without loosing an hour or two.
On the other hand I have unlimited mobile data (1TB) and I can back it up in few minutes.

I can, respectfully, debunk that myth. I'm constantly in the 40-50 gig usage every month and have never received any notifications nor been throttled back.

It depends on the plan. Grandfathered plans may not be subject to data throttling but every one of today’s mobile plans that I’ve seen has some sort of “if you use more than ____ GB of data in a billing cycle you may be subjected to lower speeds on our network.” T-Mobile, for example, uses “data prioritization” after a certain point that basically equates to throttling during peak usage times.
I've been on the Tmobile One plan for about a year and if I'm getting throttled I sure can't tell.
