What is this folder? It’s huge and I can use the extra room. I’ve read sleepimage isn’t necessary—is this true? Should I just deal with it? Is the “private” folder emptied automatically, or would I have to do it manually? If it isn’t useful (or needed), is there any way to prevent it from reappearing in the future?

How can I tell which band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) my iPhone’s WiFi connection is on?

I have two access points for the same network in my house, with some overlap. One runs on 2.4GHz only, and one transmits both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

I have an iPhone 5 (running iOS 6.0.1), which supports the 5GHz band and I’m wondering if there is a way for me to determine which frequency band it is connected to.
