Speed isn't the problem with 5g. I don't even use it because it uses too much power.

Mmmkay

This sub has become the de facto place for Apple's ads.

I agree.

I'm doing a dual-sim demo of T-Mobile 5G, alongside my LTE AT&T.

I know my Pixel 5a doesn't have mmWave 5G, and maybe T-Mobile is throttling their demo speeds, but I rarely see anything above 60-80Mbps out of it (even standing next to the tower). Pretty sure that's still inside LTE speed ranges.

And nobody in my family (kids included) actually needs anything above 10-15Mbps. I can stream max-quality CoD to Twitch or YouTube on less bandwidth than that.

For network bandwidth YES IT DOES MATTER. I can use the “210 mph” to its fullest on a daily, constant basis. I can’t with an automobile, that will only make my junk bigger than yours.

I wish 5g was never a thing, my mobile internet is consistently way less reliable than just having 4g everywhere. Who cares about speed when you have no signal?

I mean for people who are into tech it’s still somewhat interesting, even as a quick “oh neat”

it's gonad measurement at a certain point. I mean can the average person goong to be able to tell the difference between 4K and whatever format is going to come next?

You mean in the future, when new handsets will be out? sure, maybe.

No, I live in southern Oregon. I get it on the i5 corridor. Basically nowhere else.

Edit: y’all gonna want some of this. Do the facts back up the headline at this moment in time?

Edit 2: between data throttling and data caps - who the fuck wants faster mobile data?

Will be very useful in countries like germany where you can then completely empty your expensive and limited data in mere seconds the next time you forget to turn wifi back on

Though i dont think money is a problem for people with an iphone 14

Same here, big huge Dead spot in my neighborhood, can't even play music or load a basic website for about four or five miles but i have about 1/2 bars of 5g supposedly

Won't keep the Apple fanboys from spending another $1,300 on it. I actually turned 5G off on my phone because there is a huge carrier dead spot right near my house that I have to drive through almost every day. It's really embarrassing, especially when you pay as much money to a carrier that rhymes with horizon. I'm told there are a lot of major carriers that are actually setting up 5G towers that are connected to anything, so it tricks your phone into thinking that it has service when in actuality. It's like your modem was unplugged but your router was still on.

I get it almost never.

I have 175 hours on BOTW and 800 hours on Splatoon 2.

It doesn't really matter but people are interested in/talk about lots of things that don't matter

This says different

You're complaining to the wrong person, I just pointed out who conducted the study.

Perhaps.

not in profits though.

Tuned in just to see the guaranteed Apple shit on comments since it can never do anything better than Android and when it actually does, it never matters. Predictable but always funny to witness.

It could in the future
