3.6Ghz 5G has been a big benefit for me in London, where I consistently get 200-300 Mbps and low pings. 4G tops out in the 50-70 Mbps range.
Whether this will still be the case once there's a ton of new 5G iPhones added to the network, I'm not sure!
- coin 6y agoWhat is it that you can do with 200Mbps that you can’t do with 50?
- Reason077 6y agoStadia is probably the main one for me. It'd work at 50 Mbps, but 4G speeds can vary (not consistently 50 Mbps at peak times), so it wouldn't always be smooth and lag-free at 1080p. But in general, it's just nice to have faster downloads. Nice not to have to wait as long for those multi-GB OS updates, game updates, app updates, etc. Don't you agree?
