5G doesn’t sell phones either. I don’t know anyone who cares about it whatsoever.

i care about it a lot.

my phone worked fine, reliably and im not in an area where bandwidth is a problem

yet ATT deactivated my phone shipped out a "new better model"

i get a 5G googlized flipphone from them, thats not all.

i get about 2 and ahalf or three bars reception at best, my phone now drops connections, and drops network, and i only have to charge it twice a day

5G brings obvious improvements, just ask the airline industry, they have some things to say as well

Owning your own phone outright often solves this rent-to-own upgrade problem.

Consumers will pay the extra 100$ for the feature but it won’t make them buy new phones
