The 11’s don’t have 5g though. That’s a pretty big negative since network’s are dedicating less and less bandwidth to 4g.
And, do we need 5G? I’m doing more than fine on my 4G. To the point I’d actually forgotten about 5G. Last I checked it was a bit more marketing than innovation as it’s increased speeds were not reliable.
Yes, depending by on where you are and who your provider is, medium band 5g is everywhere and is a noticeable improvement over 4g. Providers will be moving their bandwidth more to 5g over time, so it will become more important.
mmWave 5g seems to be only in cities, is a slow rollout, and your provider may charge more to use it. Most of us wont
My speeds are regularly noticeably faster on 5g, but that’s me. I also don’t live IN the city. I’m fairly near one, but not in it
5G is totally not needed for a phone, but at least on my network (t-mobile) the bandwidth allotted to 4G now is reduced, so when I am using 4G, it’s a lot slower than it used to be. Same thing happened to 3G. Once 4G was the norm it really throttles down 3G.
Guessing you’re in Germany, but here in the states 5g is near nonexistent if you’re not in a city. I will keep my 4g phone long as it works. My breif experience with a 5g phone was awful and speeds were no where near 4g at my home

Granted I haven’t travelled as much since COViD but Verizon seems to have medium band 5g everywhere I’ve been. When I have seen it drop out, LTE is about to drop out too
Well, just my experience. I am kind of in the sticks.
That’s definitely not true. There’s 5G everywhere now in the states I’ve traveled in. mmWave is the one only in dense cities. 5G is pretty much as low latency as my home fiber connection. It’s definitely faster than LTE.
