[OT] Excessive Wireless Traffic from iPhone running iOS5

[Pete]

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed an occasional  huge slowdown in internet
access from home.  Whenever this occurred, it was obvious from the lights
on my wireless router that a huge amount of wireless traffic was happening.

In true old-fashioned trouble shooting mode, I tried to figure out what
might have changed in any computer setups in my home.  The only thing that
I could come up with was that my wife upgraded her iPhone to ios5 round
about the time this started happening.

>From the circumstances, I believe this is happening when the iPhone is
syncing wirelessly with iTunes on my wife's Mac laptop.  That only happens
over WiFi and when the phone is charging, both of which are the case when
this wireless traffic problem occurs.  I verified this by switching off
WiFi on the iuPhone last time this happened and sure enough, the wireless
traffic stopped.

Have any of you iPhone users experienced anything similar to this?
 Obviously there has to be WiFi traffic for the iPhone to sync, but there
isn't that much data on my wife's iPhone so I'm not understanding the
extreme wireless activity.

Meantime my Android phone has been wireless syncing perfectly for
months.....
