It's not like 4G will shut down any time soon nor that we're at a stage where we have any use case for 5G speeds on a phone.

I don't see how 5G fits into a planned obsolescence argument.

In a few years the majority of us will swap our phones anyway, 5G or no 5G.

Don't get me wrong, if the comment above said planned obsolescence instead of 5G, I'd be fully aboard. But 5G on its own makes no difference on climate change that I'm aware of.
