See, I’m satisfied with 4G. When they announce the phaseout of 4G, as they did with 3G a few years ago, I’ll upgrade to keep up.

5G is significantly FASTER than 4G. I’ve used my phone as a hot spot and my laptop and wife’s laptop could use it as an internet hub. If you don’ need it…fine, but some of us can make use of it.

I’m not into changing IPhones every time a new one comes along. But there are some significant differences/enhancements from the IPhone-4 to IPhone-8 and now IPhone-13. Before I retired, I upgraded my phone to IPhone-16 (paid for by the company). I probably won’t upgrade for a while. I will probably upgrade my Apple Watch Series 3 next year.
