    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.

        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
