listen2me 23 1,504 Posted September 14, 2022 My phone is like 4 years old and wasn't new at the time. It is about time for a new one however. If it were not for the internet on phones I would go back to a flip phone. I am 33 but get off my lawn anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,686 Posted September 16, 2022 I upgraded my XR to 16 today. Now I can finally wear the wear the iWatch my daughter bought me months ago. It wouldn’t sync with my phone before. I guess I should get the iPhone 14 when it becomes available, but my XR works perfectly. I just don’t feel compelled to get the newer version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, Speedcheck found that in nearly 30 percent of cases, 5G provided either a marginal improvement in download speed or actually underperformed the 4G LTE network. In about 12 percent of tests, the latter was the case, with 5G offering speeds slower than the available 4G connection. https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-is-my-5g-so-slow-comparing-the-hype-to-the-reality/ https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-5G/jnpweyldnpw/ There are also plenty of discussions in forums about how their 5G service is slower than their 4G service.

Who said it doesn't work. It just hasn't lived up to the hype yet. It's not quite where it's suppose to be yet. It's strange that you feel the need to defend it as if you have some major investment in it or something. I'm sure there are places where it works amazing, it's not working the same everywhere though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,023 Posted September 25, 2022 5G is head and shoulders better than 4G where I'm at. If you're having trouble with your 5G try going into airplane mode for a few seconds and coming out of it.
