Agree with author on the last part … I don’t need this. Bought an iPhone 13 mini recently and one of the first things I did was set the cellular from “5G Auto” to “LTE” to save battery life. My suspicion has been that this tech isn’t for me, but actually more for the companies that are deploying it. For those who know the tech behind this better than me (ie, most of you), does 5G make it possible to turn my phone into a signal booster for my neighbor? Am I now a piece of the network infrastructure with 5G in a way that I’m not with LTE?
